Sample label for illustration, made from the checklist above. Your own label has to match your recipe and your state’s exact rules.

Key limits in Oklahoma

Permit: None required (sales tax permit needed); optional ODAFF registration number, $15/year, can replace name/address/phone on label.
Training: none for non-time/temperature-controlled foods like cookies (approved food safety training required only for time/temperature-controlled foods)
Sales cap: $75,000 gross annual sales
Where you can sell: Direct to consumers in Oklahoma (in person, farmers markets, events); shelf-stable items like cookies may also be sold through agents or third-party vendors such as retail/grocery stores, farm stands, farmers markets, craft fairs.
Online & shipping: Online/phone orders allowed; shelf-stable items may be delivered by the producer, an agent, a third-party vendor or a parcel carrier; sales only within Oklahoma (no out-of-state).
Law: Homemade Food Freedom Act, 2 O.S. §§ 5-4.1 to 5-4.4 (HB 1032, 2021)

What we could not confirm (2)

HB 2152 (2025) would have raised the cap to $150,000 but died May 2026; cap remains $75,000
Justia 2024 statute text does not show the HB 2975 registration-number option; relied on OSU extension (rev. Jan 2025) for it

Check with: Exempt from licensing/inspection; Oklahoma Dept. of Agriculture, Food & Forestry (ODAFF) issues optional registration numbers; OSU Food & Agricultural Products Center provides guidance

Last change to the law: 2024 (HB 2975, optional registration number); base act effective Nov 1, 2021
