Labels can be tricky. That's where we can help.

This tool generates a compliant Texas cottage food label. Answer the questions below and copy the result.

Heads up: This generator builds your label based on your answers. It does not know your product.

If something is entered incorrectly, like marking a refrigerated food as shelf-stable, or not marking the correct allergens, the label it produces will also be incorrect.

Please double-check your selections to make sure your final label is accurate.

If you are unsure, the Homemade Texas Verified Seller program includes label checks and support to help you get it right.
