Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Label Checklist
- Local Registration Number Required:
Unlike states with a single central permit, Illinois requires your local county health department registration number printed directly on every product label next to your business name.
- Mandatory Two-Sentence IDPH Disclaimer:This product was produced in a home kitchen not inspected by a health department that may also process common food allergens. If you have safety concerns, contact your local health department.
- Production Date Field: Illinois explicitly mandates that the exact date the product was baked/packaged appear on the principal display panel.
