Wyoming Cottage Food Law

Wyoming's cottage food law sets no statewide revenue cap and no state permit or registration is required. Direct sales, farmers markets, and online sales permitted.

Watch for: Wyoming's Food Freedom Act is one of the originals — permissive and stable. No reported foodborne illness outbreaks under the law.

Label requirements

For direct sales (farmers market, farm, ranch, or home), the Wyoming Food Freedom Act requires the producer to inform the end consumer that the food "is not certified, labeled, licensed, packaged, regulated or inspected" (Wyo. Stat. § 11-49-103(e)) — this may be done verbally or by a sign; no fixed label wording is prescribed and no producer name, address, ingredient, or allergen statement is statutorily required for direct sales
For sales at a retail location or grocery store (non-potentially-hazardous food and dairy only), the product must be clearly and prominently labeled with the verbatim statement (Wyo. Stat. § 11-49-103(k)): "this food was made in a home kitchen, is not regulated or inspected and may contain allergens"
Federal allergen labeling under FALCPA + FASTER Act applies to packaged foods in commerce: "Contains:" statement for any of the nine major allergens (milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, sesame)
