Wyoming cottage food laws

Wyoming's Food Freedom Act is a homemade food law, not a short baked-goods list. Meat and potentially hazardous foods have extra limits. Read the statute before you sell anything that needs refrigeration.

What the Wyoming law decides

Wyoming Food Freedom Act answers these points. The state page is the current list. A county health department or a farmers market can add a form, a fee, or a product ban.

  • Which foods are allowed, and which foods need refrigeration or a pH test
  • The current sales cap, or whether the state has removed it
  • Where you can sell: farmers markets, online orders, shipping, and stores
  • The label, including allergens and any home-kitchen statement
  • Registration, a food-handler class, or a county permit

Sell it only after the rule checks out

A cottage food page is market research, not a promise of income. Price the product, find a market in Wyoming, and sell one batch before you buy equipment.
