Jam H&S

Post: # 43048Post loopybretonbunny »

Hi, I have searched through several pages of posts and can't find anything regarding selling jam commercially so forgive me if it has recently been discused!

I would like to know if you need any inspections or certificates to make jam and curds in your home kitchen and then sell them? I would imagine it would be the case that you need to at least register as other food businesses have to.

Thanks

Interesting question, not sure if I have seen it on this forum. There has been jam sold at church/village fairs for years and they don't have to comply to any regulations. - however, this might be becasue the money is going to a charity or to help the church roof. I might be wrong but I think it is a quantity issue, if you are selling loads then you do have to comply to some regs. 0 like I said I might be wrong.

Not sure where you are but this should be pretty much the same across the whole country.

Why not ask at your local WI market, they must know, they have to comply to the various food and labeling regulations.
