Cottage food label requirements in Oklahoma
Selling cookies, jam, bread, or granola from your kitchen in Oklahoma? Your label has to carry a few specific things before it can go on the shelf. Here is the checklist, plus the home-kitchen disclaimer.
What your Oklahoma label needs
- ✓Product name. The common name of the food, so a buyer knows what it is.
- ✓Net quantity. The weight or count in the package, usually shown on the front.
- ✓Ingredient list. Every ingredient, listed heaviest-first by weight.
- ✓Allergen statement. A “Contains” line for milk, egg, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and sesame.
- ✓Business name and address. Who made the food and where they can be reached.
- ✓Home-kitchen disclaimer. The cottage food sentence Oklahoma expects, shown below.
The Oklahoma home-kitchen disclaimer
We do not have Oklahoma's exact required wording confirmed in our records. Many home kitchens use a general statement like this one:
Made in a home kitchen not subject to routine government food-safety inspection.General example, not confirmed Oklahoma wording.
Oklahomamay require specific language. Confirm the exact text with your state's cottage food program (usually run by the state agriculture or health department) before you print.
Do you need a full Nutrition Facts panel in Oklahoma?
Many cottage food sellers are exempt from the full Nutrition Facts panel, as long as the ingredient list, allergen line, net weight, business name, and disclaimer are all present. But online marketplaces like Etsy and Amazon often ask for the panel anyway. Nutripane builds all of it from your recipe, so you are ready either way.
