5. Product Labeling: Initial if you agree to abide by the following: 414.1 <br />For a detailed description, see the CDPH document "Labeling Requirements for Cottage Food <br />Products." All cottage food products must be properly labeled in compliance with the Federal, Food, <br />Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. Sec. 343 et seq.) The label must include: <br />Submit one example label for one of your CFO products. <br />The words "Made in a Home Kitchen" in 12-point type. <br />The name commonly used to describe the food product. <br />The business name, city, state and zip code, County of origin, and registration/permit number of <br />the cottage food operation which produced the cottage food product. <br />The ingredients of the food product, in descending order of predominance by weight, if the <br />product contains two or more ingredients. <br />The net quantity (count, weight, or volume) of the food product. It must be stated in both English <br />(pound) units and metric units (grams). <br />A declaration on the label in plain language if the food contains any of the eight major food <br />allergens such as milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, and soybeans. There are <br />two approved methods prescribed by federal law for declaring the food sources of allergens in <br />packaged foods: 1) in a separate summary statement immediately following or adjacent to the <br />ingredient list, or 2) within the ingredient list. <br />If the label makes approved nutrient content claims or health claims, the label must contain a <br />"Nutrition Facts" statement on the information panel. <br />The use of the following eleven terms are considered nutrient content claims (nutritional value <br />of a food): free, low, reduced, fewer, high, less, more, lean, extra lean, good source, and <br />light. Specific requirements have been established for the use of these terms. Please refer to <br />the Cottage Food Labeling Guideline for more details. <br />A health claim is a statement or message on the label that describes the relationship between <br />a food component and a disease or health-related condition (e.g., sodium and hypertension, <br />calcium and osteoporosis). Please refer to the Cottage Food Labeling Guideline for more <br />details. <br />Labels must be legible and in English (accurately translated information in another language may <br />accompany it). <br />Labels, wrappers, inks, adhesives, paper, and packaging materials that come into contact with <br />the cottage food product by touching the product or penetrating the packaging must be food- <br />grade (safe for food contact) and not contaminate the food. <br />EHD 16-27 6/29/2023 3 CFO REG/PERMITTING FORM
