Testing Process Background
Our team offers these recipes to help you get started on your cottage food home baking journey, particularly related to using seasonal produce in your products. While we had these recipes lab tested at the University of Nebraska Food Processing Center and all tested non-hazardous based on FDA Time/Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) guidelines, please remember recipe results can vary based on a variety of factors, from ingredient brands to climate factors. We offer these recipes as a starting point for you and encourage you to do your own laboratory test to ensure non-hazardous food safety. Also, be sure to check on what your state’s specific food safety requirements are including acceptable water activity levels, which may vary.
