NYC Cottage food law Snapshot

If you live in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, or Staten Island — this snapshot is for you.

Selling food from your home kitchen in New York City is not as simple as the rest of the state. NYC home bakers have two sets of rules to follow and most people don't know that.

This snapshot covers both. The state registration. The city registration. The farmers market requirements. The labeling rules. And the one product prohibition that surprises every NYC baker.

Step by step. Plain English. Every link goes straight to the official source.

I looked up the laws so you don't have to.
