Simple Syrups

I am interested in selling syrups to make cocktail/mocktails. Are simple syrups allowed to be sold under the Cottage Food Law?

No, simple syrups are not eligible to be sold under Michigan Cottage Food Law.

Simple syrups are considered Time/Temperature Controlled for Safety (TCS) because there are so many variables in the product that they can’t all be classified under one consistently safe standard.  If you want to see if your products are not TCS, we recommend reaching out to the MSU Product Center for consulting.
