Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Sales limits for Michigan cottage food businesses

Through September 30, 2026, Michigan cottage food businesses can have up to $50,000 in annual gross sales. The limit is $75,000 for operations selling a cottage food product for $250 or more per unit. These limits apply per home, not per person. Starting October 1, 2026, the agriculture department may adjust them annually using a three-year average July-to-June Detroit Consumer Price Index formula. Adjusted limits are rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

Cottage food businesses gain selling options

Michigan cottage food businesses can sell standardized jams, jellies, and preserves covered by federal standards in 21 CFR part 150. These foods must not need time or temperature controls for safety or fall into another excluded food category. Businesses can also sell online or by mail and use third-party food delivery platforms. These sales and deliveries must go to consumers in Michigan. Before selling, businesses must offer customers a chance to interact directly, face-to-face or through a virtual meeting.

Cottage food registration offers address privacy

Registration is voluntary and available only if the Michigan State University Product Center runs a cottage food registration program. The Center may issue a unique registration number and charge a one-time fee of up to $50. Registered businesses must label products with their registration number; their name, phone number, and number can replace business-name-and-address labeling. Unregistered businesses must put their name and address on labels. The Center must provide registration records to the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development on request.
