What Montana requires on your label

The label maker below handles all of this for you. Here is the checklist it follows, straight from Montana's rules.

  1. 1
    Inform the end consumer
    Montana's only legal duty: the buyer must be told (verbally or in writing) that the food has not been licensed, permitted, certified, packaged, labeled, or inspected. A label is the easiest proof.
  2. 2
    Best practice: DPHHS-recommended statement
    The recommended wording below satisfies the duty cleanly.
  3. 3
    Best practice: producer name, contact, product name, ingredients, allergens
    None are legally mandated under the Local Food Choice Act, but all are expected by customers and markets.
Required wording, added to your label automatically
This product was home-produced in accordance with the Montana Local Food Choice Act. It is exempt from Montana food safety regulations and is intended to be consumed in a home or at a community social event.
  • MCA 50-49-203 mandates no label elements; the statement above is DPHHS's RECOMMENDED wording, not statutory text.
  • Health claims are prohibited on labels and in advertising.
