Is there anyone out there who is a licensed home baker in Tulsa, OK? What does it take to become licensed? I'm afraid there will be things I have to do that I am not able to do because of finances. Please help! icon_smile.gif

Most states regulate bakeries via the department of Agriculture. I would start by checking with them. You might also check with a local chamber of commerce or other local governing body. (Dept of Health?)

Good luck!

After hours of digging this is the closest thing I found for those of us in Oklahoma. I found this information on a Tulsa Dept. of Health web sight. http://www.tulsa-health.org/food-safety/faq/

*sigh*


Can I prepare food items in my home and sell them to the public?

Foods offered for sale to the general public must be prepared in a licensed, commercial-type kitchen. The facility must be completely separate from any living or private quarters. Commercial grade equipment is needed which, depending on the foods prepared, may include refrigerators, hot food units, dish-washing equipment, hand-washing sinks, and mop sinks. Construction materials for the floors, walls and ceilings of the food preparation area and the restrooms are required to meet certain standards as well as certain lighting requirements. Licenses are required from the Oklahoma State Department of Health and some cities require a separate license also. The Tulsa Food Code is available on our web site which goes into more detail on food establishment requirements.

Other information is pending with the Department of Argiculture to see if there is a breeze way for fresh air because this stinks.
