From Hillsborough County Government:

Hillsborough County’s Small Business Information Center (SBIC) is offering two additional free food industry workshops this month for at-home bakers.

The workshops will provide information on proper licensing and permitting for mobile food units, caterers, restaurants, personal chefs and commercial kitchens. The workshops will also provide information on the new Florida Cottage Food Act, which became a state law on July 1 and gives budding chefs the freedom to start a business in their own kitchen without having to obtain expensive special licensing.
