Texas Cottage Food Label Creator Wizard

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.

Don't overlook common allergens! Flour is wheat. Butter is milk. Chocolate chips, vegetable oil, and shortening usually contain soy.

What to do if your food contains no major allergens, such as jam or jelly.

If your food does not contain one of the 9 major allergens, it is considered a best practice to disclose the full ingredients below. Adding ingredients is always optional but many consider it a best practice. Put yourself in your customer's place.
