Can my vendor sell their bagels (or similar products) out of a display case at their booth instead of individually pre-packaging them at home? They operate under Michigan Cottage Food Law.
Pulling items out of a display case and putting them into an individual package is an act of packaging. Cottage Food vendors are expected to do all packaging in their home kitchens.
Licensed vendors, depending upon their license, may be able to do some packaging on-site as an extension of their licensed facility.
