Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: May 20, 2026

1. FTC Disclosure

CottageFoodLicense.com participates in affiliate programs including Amazon Associates, ShareASale, and various direct partner programs. When you click certain links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. We only recommend products and services we believe genuinely help home bakers and cottage food operators. Affiliate relationships do not influence our state-by-state legal information, which is verified against primary government sources.

2. How We Choose Partners

We evaluate every affiliate partner against a single standard: would we recommend this to a friend launching a home bakery? Products are selected based on quality, relevance to cottage food operators, and the reputation of the merchant. We decline partnerships that conflict with that standard, even when the commercial terms are attractive.

3. Editorial Independence

Our state cottage food law summaries, compliance guidance, labeling requirements, and regulatory analyses are independent of any commercial relationship. We verify these against primary government sources — state departments of agriculture, public health codes, and official statutes. No partner has the ability to alter, suppress, or shape the legal content on this site.

4. Amazon Associates

CottageFoodLicense.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

5. Identifying Affiliate Links

Where practical, affiliate links and product recommendations are accompanied by inline disclosures on the page where they appear. If you have any doubt about whether a link is an affiliate link, assume it may be and review this policy.
