Florida Cottage Food SafetyLive Class

Safety first for your kitchen.

Join interactive live classes with a small-group webinar designed for cottage bakers. Master the essentials of food safety to protect your customers and grow your home bakery business with confidence.

Does Florida require a food safety class?

Florida doesn't mandate food safety training under Florida Statute 500.80, but the state highly recommends it. Training is essential to protect your home bakery's reputation, build customer trust, and ensure the safety of everyone who enjoys your baked goods. Our specialized courses give you the knowledge you need to operate with confidence and integrity.
