Free Texas Cottage Food Label Generator

Make a legally compliant SB 541 label in about 60 seconds. Fill in your details, then download a print-ready PDF for Avery sheets or a high-res PNG for your label printer. No signup. Your info never leaves your device.

Heads up: the law changed on September 1, 2025 — the required statement wording and the home-address rule both changed. Labels printed before then likely need updating.

Your label details

The common name of the food, e.g. "Chocolate Chip Cookies."

Since SB 541 you can use a free DSHS ID number instead of your home address — a real privacy upgrade.

Check any of the 9 major allergens actually in this product. Texas requires you list the real ones — a blanket "may contain everything" is not allowed. Leave all unchecked if none apply.

This is a refrigerated / TCS food (cheesecake, custards, cream-filled, etc.)
Adds the required safe-handling statement and 41°F line — and makes the "made on" date required.
