Football season is one of the busiest times of year for home-based food businesses. Fans love easy-to-share treats like cookies, brownies, snack mixes, fudge, caramel corn, and other shelf-stable favorites that travel well to tailgates and watch parties.
Before adding seasonal items to your menu, confirm they are allowed under South Carolina’s Home-Based Food Production Law. Package products securely to protect them during transport and clearly label ingredients and allergens so customers can make informed choices.
