What is considered cottage food in Texas

In Texas, the cottage food law, also known as the "Texas Cottage Food Law," allows certain individuals to produce and sell certain non-potentially hazardous foods from their home kitchen. The law was established to allow small-scale food production as a way to support local food economies and promote entrepreneurship.

Under the law, cottage food operations (CFOs) can sell their products directly to consumers at farmers' markets, roadside stands, and through other direct-to-consumer sales channels, but they are not allowed to sell their products through retail stores or online. CFOs are also not allowed to sell products that require refrigeration or freezing, with some exceptions like frozen juice, jams, and jellies, as well as frozen baked goods that are packaged and sold frozen, and frozen dried fruits and vegetables.
