Mississippi Cottage Food Law
When it comes to selling food from home, Mississippi has cottage food laws that regulate how these businesses can operate.
For instance, Mississippi caps sales for home-based food businesses at $35,000 in gross annual sales. Additionally, Mississippi cottage food businesses are only permitted to sell certain non-potentially hazardous foods that don’t require temperature control, including baked goods, dried spices, jams, jellies, and preserves.
If you run a home-based food business in Mississippi, you need cottage food insurance to safeguard your business from the risks of serving food from home. This includes food poisoning, unlabelled allergens, and third-party bodily injury.
Food Truck Requirements in Mississippi
There are several requirements for Mississippi food trucks, including holding a food permit, a food manager’s certificate, and passing a plan review from the Mississippi Department of Health.
While it may not be legally required, food truck insurance is also a must-have.
FLIP’s insurance for food trucks is designed to shield your business from some of the most common risks you face, including damage to a rented space (farmers market booth, festival venue, etc.), third-party slip-and-fall incidents, and more.
Mississippi Liquor Liability Insurance
Whether you run a mobile bartending service or a catering company that serves alcohol, liquor liability insurance is necessary for you to keep your finances safe from the cost of claims.
Alcohol-related incidents are not covered under general liability insurance, so you must have a liquor liability policy to receive financial support in the event of a claim.
Coast-to-Coast Coverage
Your policy follows you anywhere in the US*, provided you follow the licensing and certification requirements of the state in which you reside.
