The Alabama Cottage Food Law went into effect in 2014 and was revised in 2021 to provide guidance and information for cottage food entrepreneurs. In conjunction with the Alabama Department of Public Health, the Alabama Cooperative Extension System food safety and quality team is currently updating the training to comply with the new law and regulations.

Note. Effective January 25, 2023, Alabama Extension will no longer offer product testing for cottage food products.
