Tips for selling specialty foods
- Check local food rules before selling — perishable and animal products often need specific permits and handling.
- List ingredients, allergens, storage instructions, use-by guidance and any certifications.
- Limit perishable shipping zones to areas you can reach quickly with cold packs.
- Ship early in the week so packages don't sit over weekends, and follow your carrier's guidance.
- Offer local pickup for fresh products and larger orders.
