Twisted Sifter Bakery operates as a Texas Cottage Food Production Operation (CFPO). We follow all Texas Cottage Food Law requirements. Our homemade foods are produced in a private residence and sold directly to Texas consumers.
Home-Based Operation
We produce approved foods in a private kitchen under Texas law. State inspections are not required for cottage food operations.
Texas Regulations
We comply with all Texas Cottage Food Law provisions. SB 541 updates (Sept 2025) expanded our permitted categories.
Direct Sales Only
We sell directly to consumers within Texas. Online ordering and home pickup are available per state guidelines.
Required Legal Disclosure
"THIS PRODUCT WAS PRODUCED IN A PRIVATE RESIDENCE THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENTAL LICENSING OR INSPECTION."
This exact statement appears on all our labels as required by Texas law. The wording and capitalization cannot be modified.
Contact Information
Twisted Sifter Bakery
Lubbock, Texas
Texas law requires cottage food operators to display business name and address. DSHS registration (available Sept 2025) allows use of ID numbers instead.
Allergen Disclosure
Texas requires disclosure of nine major allergens: eggs, nuts, peanuts, soy, milk, wheat, fish, shellfish, and sesame.
Our products may contain one or more allergens. Customers with allergies should inquire about specific ingredients before ordering.
We provide detailed ingredient information upon request. Custom orders include full ingredient labels when required.
Safe Handling Instructions
Under SB 541 (effective Sept 2025), refrigerated TCS foods require special handling instructions. Currently, we offer only non-TCS baked goods.
"SAFE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS: To prevent illness from bacteria, keep this food refrigerated or frozen until the food is prepared for consumption."
This statement applies if we offer TCS items in the future.
