Montana does not require formal food safety training for cottage food operators. However, taking a food safety course is strongly recommended to ensure proper handling and reduce risks. It’s also beneficial for maintaining product quality and consumer confidence.
Montana’s Cottage Food Law permits the sale of non-potentially hazardous foods, such as:
- Baked goods (without cream or custard)
- Jams, jellies, and fruit butters
- Granola
- Dried herbs and herb mixes
- Honey
- Candies and confections
- Dry mixes (e.g., pancake, cookie, and bread mixes)
These foods must be shelf-stable and not require refrigeration. Perishable items or those needing time/temperature control for safety (TCS) are prohibited.
