I have a vendor at our market selling freeze dried candy which she makes at home. I have another vendor who also sells freeze dried candy and wants to be a vendor at this market. She keeps insisting that a license is needed and vendor #1 doesn't have one.
Please clarify if freeze dried candy is covered by Cottage Food Laws in MI.
Monroe County Michigan
Expert Response
Any food that is considered a Cottage Food under Michigan's law, can also be sold as freeze dried. Items that are not allowed are also not allowed in freeze dried form. You may be interested in our MI Cottage Food Law webinars. While there is no cost, registration is required. https://www.canr.msu.edu/events/michigan-cottage-food-law2024
