What has to be on the label when you sell homemade baked goods in Idaho, and the limits that matter at a market. Checked September 2026.
Your label must include

“The food was prepared in a home kitchen that is not subject to regulation and inspection by the regulatory authority; The food may contain allergens.”
Can be on a legible label on the package OR a clearly visible placard at the sale location. The rule lists two statements: (1) ‘The food was prepared in a home kitchen that is not subject to regulation and inspection by the regulatory authority’ and (2) ‘The food may contain allergens’. No font size specified.
