Oklahoma Requirements Checklist
Here's what you need to start selling homemade food in Oklahoma under the Oklahoma Homemade Food Freedom Act (HB 1032, 63 O.S. § 1-1101.1)
No Permit Needed
Oklahoma does not require a permit for cottage food operations.
No Food Handler Cert Needed
Oklahoma does not require a food handler certification.
No Kitchen Inspection Needed
Oklahoma allows you to use your home kitchen without inspection.
What Goes on Your Label
Every package you sell needs a label. Here's exactly what Oklahoma wants on it — copy this list.
Producer name (or registration number) and contact info
Product name
Ingredients in descending order by weight
Major allergen disclosure (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, sesame)
Net weight or volume
Statement: "This product was produced in a private residence that is exempt from government licensing and inspection."
Ingredient list — listed in order from most to least
Oklahoma requires you to list every ingredient on each package. Start with the heaviest ingredient and work your way down. Sub-ingredients (like "chocolate chips: cocoa, sugar, milkfat") go in parentheses.
Allergen disclosure — required
Clearly list any of the 9 major allergens your product contains: milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and sesame. A simple line works: "Contains: wheat, eggs, milk."
What You Can Ship From Oklahoma
Cookies, jams, dry mixes — these ship great from Oklahoma. Here's what works.
Shelf-stable products that ship well

candy
jams

dried fruits
roasted nuts

Yes — you can ship across state lines
Oklahoma is one of only a handful of states that explicitly allows shipping homemade non-perishable foods across state lines. Perishable (TCS) products require a food safety course and must be delivered in person.
What can't ship
Anything that needs refrigeration — cheesecakes, custard pies, cream-filled pastries, fresh dairy, meat — can't be shipped under cottage food rules. Stick to dry, shelf-stable items for shipping. Local pickup and delivery still work great for everything else.
