I have a long bodied question for those that I see in big facilities that I assume sell online someplace. I have a candy business that I do local farmers markets and such. However I stay out of cottage law by making all of my candy in a STFU licensed kitchen through our local health department… STFU is our states definition of a food truck that is fully self sufficient. 4 bag sink, fridges. Cooking equipment. But inside a trailer or food truck.

Now, a lot of what I have read online states to make any consumable food product and sell across state lines (like selling online) I would need some sort of FDA Approved kitchen/facility. But from my understanding since this kitchen sells direct to consumer and not to other businesses. It would fall under the RFE Exemption on the FDA website. This may be a little out of the topic for this subreddit and if so it would be great if I could be directed to the proper place.

Anyways, Thanks for any help!

This past week has been lots of experimentation with using natural instead of artificial dyes for my pillow candies. And now they can be purchased online! Using powdered beet, turmeric, and pandan to get some basic colors!
