Do you need a license to sell honey in Nevada?

Whether you need a license to sell honey in Nevada depends on how and where you sell, so check before you print labels.

Honey is regulated separately by the Nevada Dept of Agriculture (authority moved from Public & Behavioral Health in 2025). No honey-specific exemption confirmed.

What your Nevada honey label must include

Start with the federal basics that apply in every state:

  • The word "Honey" (you can name the floral source, like "Wildflower Honey", if it is the main source)
  • Net weight in both US and metric, in the bottom 30 percent of the front label
  • Your name and address
  • No ingredient list is needed for pure honey; add one the moment you add anything

Then, for Nevada: Honey is excluded from Nevada cottage food, so the cottage-food disclaimer does not apply. Honey-specific label requirements not found; check with the Nevada Dept of Agriculture.

For the full federal rules, including when a nutrition panel is required, see our honey labeling requirements guide.
