Can I sell cottage food in Nebraska?
Usually yes if you sell directly to the consumer and stay out of Nebraska's prohibited categories. Nebraska is broader than many states because it allows some TCS foods such as cheesecake or ice cream, but those foods must stay under temperature control, be delivered in person by the producer, and cannot be transported longer than two hours. The narrowest waiver is for non-TCS food sold directly to the consumer at a farmers market, where training and registration can be waived.
