Cottage food producer food safety training

Do you make and sell baked goods, home-canned pickles, salsa, jam or jelly?

This advanced course focuses on food safety practices for all processes covered under the cottage food law including drying, baking, confections, jams and jellies, acid and acidified fruit and vegetables and fermentation. You will learn how to produce, package, label, store and transport a safe food product. And food safety experts will be available to answer your questions.

By attending a Zoom webinar or taking our online course, you will meet the tier 2 ($7,665 to $78,000 in sales) training requirement of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture to register as a cottage food producer.


Online, self-paced course

The online Cottage Food Producer Tier 2 Food Safety Training is currently undergoing major revision. The new course will be available later in 2024. 

If you need to complete training prior to availability of the new course, please contact the Food Safety team at exfdsafe@umn.edu.
