On December 1, 2022, bills A3991/S2697 exempting raw, unprocessed honey from DOH cottage food regulations were passed and signed by Governor Philip D. Murphy. Effective immediately, the sale of raw, unprocessed honey will not require a cottage food operator permit issued by NJDOH.
If you have any questions, please contact the Cottage Foods Operator Permit Project at cfo@doh.nj.gov.
