- 4Net weight or volumeBy standard measure or numerical count.
- 5Date the product was processedThe processing date.
- 6Required statement in at least 10-point typeExact wording below, including NOT FOR RESALE. The 10-point rule applies to this statement.
Required wording, added to your label automatically
This product is home produced and processed and the production area has not been inspected by the Indiana Department of Health. NOT FOR RESALE.
- A sign substitutes for a label on unpackaged food, and the label must also be posted on the vendor's website.
- An allergen statement is IDOH/Purdue-recommended best practice, not a statutory element.
- HB 1562 (2025) died in the Senate, so the current wording (P.L.56-2023, "Indiana Department of Health") remains in force.
