Cottage Food Operations law The new Cottage Food Operations law (PDF) allows people to make certain foods (e.g. jams, jellies and baked goods) in their home kitchens and sell directly to consumers. These operations will be licensed and inspected by the state department of agriculture (WSDA).
Be wary of unauthorized online food worker training programs The only site approved for online food worker testing in Washington State is foodworkercard.wa.gov. Two websites that do not qualify as state approved are efoodhandlers.com and wafoodhandlers.com.
Report foodborne illness If you become ill and suspect the source to be food that you ate from a local food establishment, you may report the illness online or by calling (360) 397-8083.
