New Hampshire Cottage Food
Label Maker

What New Hampshire requires on your label

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

1. 1
   Operation name

   Your business name or legal name.
2. 2
   Address (physical or email) and phone number

   RSA 143-A:12 allows a physical OR email address, plus a phone number. No registration-number substitute.
3. 3
   Product name

   e.g. "Apple Cider Donuts".
4. 4
   Ingredients in descending order of predominance by weight

   Include sub-ingredients of compound ingredients.
5. 5
   Major allergen declaration

   Milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame.
6. 6
   Product code

   A batch/lot number or the date of manufacture; required for exempt operations too (He-P 2310.01).
7. 7
   Required statement in 10-point contrasting type

   Exempt operations use the statement below; licensed homestead operations use "This product is made in a residential kitchen licensed by NH DHHS".

• The statement must be at least the equivalent of 10-point font in a color providing clear contrast to the background.
• Licensed operations must also show net weight/volume/count in US customary and metric units (He-P 2311.04); for exempt labels it is best practice.
• Exempt operations may also sell at retail food stores under RSA 143-A:12.
