* Due to Iowa Code changes, new home bakery licenses will not be processed until January 2023 based on guidance from the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals.

Potentially hazardous bakery products are those that require refrigeration, such as: soft pies and items with custard or cream filling.  Annual gross sales of a home bakery establishment must be under $20,000.
