Overview of Cottage Food Laws in Maryland
The cottage food law in Maryland restricts the types of foods that can be sold and caps annual sales at $25,000. The health department does not require a permission, inspection, or training (unless selling at retail stores). The MMCC must first provide its approval for edibles in Maryland before a dispensary may sell them. There are age restrictions and THC limits per serving and package that must be followed. Edibles offer an alternative to smoking or vaping. House Bill 17/Chapter 456 (2019) allows a licensed medical cannabis processor to manufacture and sell edible cannabis products to dispensaries in Maryland. Dispensaries and companies are manufacturing CBD edibles in Maryland and offering them to eligible consumers. Some ways to make edible mistakes without too many problems include taking your time and starting with small batches while you practice and experiment. Citizens can operate a home bakery under a modified Cottage Law passed in 2012 and updated in 2018. However, refrigerated baked goods cannot be sold from a home kitchen.
