Arizona cottage food notice and compliance overview.
Maricopa Market operates under Arizona's cottage food framework. That means qualifying products are prepared in a home kitchen, sold within Arizona, and paired with the disclosures and labeling Arizona law requires.
Arizona-only sales
Orders offered through this storefront are intended for sale and delivery within Arizona only.
Transparent disclosure
Arizona requires clear labeling and a consumer-facing notice when cottage food products are offered online.
What Arizona Requires On The Label
Every packaged order needs these elements.
- Name and registration number of the food preparer.
- A full ingredient list and the product production date.
- The required Arizona home-kitchen and inspection disclosure.
- The ADHS cottage food website address for illness reporting and registration verification.
Operational Guardrails
Internal practices that support compliance.
- Orders should be sold and delivered only within Arizona.
- The registered preparer should maintain active food handler certification and current ADHS cottage food registration.
- Arizona administrative rules require registration renewal every three years and updates to registration information after material changes.
- Products must be packaged at home with a clear, attached label before sale or delivery.
- Ingredients used in cottage food products must come from sources approved by law.
- Products may not include marijuana or marijuana by-products.
Online Sales And Delivery
Online offers need their own prominent disclosure.
Arizona law requires more than a footer link. If a cottage food product is offered online, the offer itself should include the key product notice information required by state law.
- 1Online offers must display a prominent notification with the preparer name, registration number, ingredients, production date, the Arizona disclosure statement, and the ADHS website address.
- 2Products that do not contain dairy, meat, or poultry have the broadest delivery options under Arizona law.
- 3Products that are dairy products or that contain meat or poultry have tighter in-person sale and delivery requirements and cannot be sent through third-party food delivery platforms.
- 4If products are sold through a third-party vendor, Arizona requires separate display and signage showing they are homemade and exempt from state licensing and inspection.
