How to start

1. No license, permit, or inspection is needed for homemade food sold directly to an informed end consumer in Wyoming.
2. Potentially hazardous foods (other than eggs and dairy) must be sold by you or a designated agent named in writing.
3. Non-potentially hazardous foods, eggs, and dairy can also be sold through retail shops and grocery stores, labeled and with a sign.
4. Tell each buyer the food isn't certified, labeled, licensed, packaged, regulated, or inspected.
5. Stay within 250,000 products and $250,000 in gross revenue a year.

Key label items

• Tell every buyer the food isn't certified, labeled, licensed, packaged, regulated, or inspected
• Retail sales: “this food was made in a home kitchen, is not regulated or inspected and may contain allergens”
• Retail spaces: a sign saying the food hasn't been inspected
