Sell from home — Arizona

Can I sell food from home in Arizona?

Non-TCS / non-potentially hazardous foods are the general rule in this state (baked goods, jams/preserves, candy, dry goods, honey/syrups, coffee/dry beverages) unless the verification note says otherwise. Online registration with the state health department; expanded to some TCS foods such as frozen produce; excludes alcohol, unpasteurized milk and meat products (NALC).

The short answer: under the Arizona Cottage Food Program (A.R.S. § 36-931 et seq.), home sellers in Arizona must complete a registration before selling. There is no statewide dollar cap. Full detail below — then run your exact food through the checker.
