What Tennessee requires on your label

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

  1. 1
    Common or usual name of the food
    e.g. "Sourdough Loaf".
  2. 2
    Producer name
    Your legal or business name.
  3. 3
    Producer home address
    Required by T.C.A. 53-1-118; no registration number exists to substitute.
  4. 4
    Producer telephone number
    A number where customers can reach you.
  5. 5
    Ingredients in descending order of predominance
    Include sub-ingredients of compound ingredients.
  6. 6
    Required disclosure statement
    The exact two-sentence wording below. It is a condition of the exemption, not just a recommendation.
Required wording, added to your label automatically
This product was produced at a private residence that is exempt from state licensing and inspection. This product may contain allergens.
  • The disclosure travels with every sale: on the label for packaged items, on a placard for unpackaged items, on the webpage for internet-only sales, and verbally for telephone or custom orders.
  • No font size is mandated. Net weight and lot numbers are good practice, not law.
