Hello
Washington-REGIONS CF-Locator info is current through early Oct. 2025
Washington State Cottage Food is a 15 years-long state-regulated industry.
A Reasonable Consumer Safeguard:
All consumers have the right to ask for proof of a valid Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) Cottage Food Permit from anyone selling homemade food—whether online, at pop-ups, or at in-person community events to protect themselves and others from consuming food from an unregulated "Cottage Food "permit-pretender."
Non-permitted home-kitchen food products can lead to:
- Increased food safety risk potentials by home-kitchen producers without health department issued food safety food--handler cards
- Foods made with untested, potentially unsafe residential water sources or private-systems
- Inadequate ingredient and allergen disclosures by unlawful food producers
- "Know your food producer" means avoiding unintentional support of an underground (“black market”) food economy that can encourage potential tax avoidance issues, the loss of consumer protections and loss of appropriate funding of publicly-supported food safety services
A black market includes the unlawful sale of otherwise legal goods—such as food—outside required regulatory oversight and seller-avoidance of accountability to their end-consumers.
