Sell from home — Oregon

Can I sell food from home in Oregon?

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. Oregon rule text opened sets the annual gross sales limit at $50,000 and lists allowed foods (baked goods, confections incl. freeze-dried, coffee beans, dried tea/spice blends, popcorn, qualifying jams/jellies/fruit butters, honey products, syrups, nut mixes, repackaged freeze-dried/dried foods, powdered drink mixes). The compiled table listed $52,700 — that figure was not confirmed in the rule text opened, so $50,000 is used. Retail sales to a retailer are allowed only with separate display/signage conditions in the rule.

The short answer: under the Oregon Cottage Food Establishment Exemption, home sellers in Oregon need no state permit at all. The sales cap is $50,000. Full detail below — then run your exact food through the checker.
