Is it legal to sell home baking without a licence ?
Answers:
How strange - "dave s" and "kokopelli" gave PRECISELY the same answers, almost as if by magic - or was it copy and paste ! ! !
A license is merely extrotion by a local taxing authority to obtain money under threat of legal action.
What is more important is having insurance to protect yourself from spurious claims for damages, i.e. "Eeeeek ! There was a mouse in my cookie!"
no u bad girl, now bend over and let me give u a good old spanking

In the UK it is. Enviromental health has to inspect your premises, and there's all sorts of restrictions regarding eggs and such
How much are your sales each year? Where are you selling? You should check with your state/local gov.
Hope it works out for you!
You dont need a licence unless you are actually doing your cooking outside, eg, burger stand.
This is probably a matter of local law. It varies from place to place.
In the UK, selling food from home is a complete nightmare.
You have to be registered with your local Environmental Health office who will come to your house to do checks.
To set your kitchen up to sell from home could start to cost the earth.
You will need to do daily Temp checks on all food, fridges and freezers.
You will also have to take out personal liability insurance to cover you in case of causing illness and danger to life/death of the public(rarely happens but you do need to be covered)
i assume so. health inspections i guess and healt and safety requirements also food hygiene certificate and then it depends where u sell. they might ask u for proof of all the above.
No, it's not legal.
To be legal, you need a kitchen that is inspected by the health department, and zoned for commercial business.
Different laws for different places, and for different organizations - look it up in your own environment.
No. As another answerer has said, the whole point about getting a licence is that your premises are punctiliously inspected and there are so many rules and regulations that I sometimes wonder how anyone gets through. They have become increasingly rigorous as EU Regulations and Directives have been implemented into our legislation. You can give food away and possibly people could give you little presents to show appreciation, but don't be caught selling your home baking or someone could report you and you could find yourself in trouble.
