Pennsylvania Cottage Food
Label Maker

What Pennsylvania requires on your label

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

1. 1
   Product name

   e.g. "Shoofly Pie".
2. 2
   Name and address of the manufacturer

   Your registered Limited Food Establishment name and address.
3. 3
   Ingredients in decreasing order by weight

   Include sub-ingredients of compound ingredients.
4. 4
   Allergen declaration

   When the product contains major allergens.
5. 5
   Net weight or unit count

   Weight, volume, or a simple count.

• Pennsylvania requires NO home-kitchen disclaimer, and adding one would be inaccurate: registered Limited Food Establishment kitchens ARE inspected by the PDA.
• Your labels are reviewed by the sanitarian at registration.
• Nutrition Facts are needed only for interstate shipping or if you make a nutrient or health claim. Some packaged bakery items have labeling exemptions when the information is available to the consumer on request.
