Florida cottage food notice

Going Out The Dough bakes in Florida as a cottage food operation. Florida law allows qualifying cottage food operators to produce approved foods, including cookies, in an unlicensed home kitchen without a food permit from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services when the operation follows the cottage food requirements and annual gross sales do not exceed $250,000.

Cottage food products are direct-to-consumer products and are not sold wholesale. Product labels should include the required cottage food, ingredient, net weight, operation, and allergen information. Florida requires this statement on cottage food labels: Made in a cottage food operation that is not subject to Florida's food safety regulations.

Orders and payment

Product availability, pricing, timing, shipping, and menu options may change. Online checkout is handled by Stripe, and orders are accepted after Stripe confirms the checkout session. Sarah may contact customers if a detail needs to be clarified before baking or shipping.

Online checkout is currently limited to Florida shipping or delivery addresses. Customers are responsible for entering a Florida address in Stripe. Orders using a non-Florida address cannot be fulfilled and may be canceled or refunded.

Shipping and timing

The site is set up for Florida box fulfillment with a flat-rate shipping amount shown in the cart. Cookies are baked fresh for each box. Delivery timelines can vary once a package is with the carrier.

Allergens and ingredients

Cookies are homemade in a kitchen that may handle wheat, milk, eggs, soy, peanuts, and tree nuts. Customers with allergies or sensitivities should contact Sarah before ordering. Ingredient and allergen information should be reviewed before eating.

Cancellations, refunds, and order issues

Because cookies are baked fresh for each box, cancellation requests should be sent as quickly as possible. Once baking, packing, or shipping has started, cancellation may not be available. If an order arrives damaged, incomplete, or incorrect, contact bakemyday.2@yahoo.com with details so the issue can be reviewed.

Marketing emails

Customer emails provided through contact forms, first-bake signup, flavor-list signup, or promotional opt-in during Stripe Checkout may be used for occasional updates about new flavors, limited creations, and discounts. You may opt out of marketing messages at any time by contacting bakemyday.2@yahoo.com. Order-related messages may still be sent when needed.

Site content

Photos, product descriptions, prices, and availability are provided for general shopping information. The site should not be used as medical, legal, tax, or food safety advice. Product photos are representative and may vary slightly from batch to batch because the cookies are handmade.
