Do you need a license to sell honey in Wyoming?

In most cases you can sell pure honey from your own bees in Wyoming without a food license.

Wyoming Food Freedom Act (W.S. §11-49-101): exempt from licensure, permitting, inspection, packaging and labeling for direct producer-to-consumer sales, in-state only.

What your Wyoming 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 Wyoming: No disclaimer required for direct-to-consumer sales (inform the buyer it is not certified or inspected). Selling to a retailer requires "this food was made in a home kitchen, is not regulated or inspected and may contain allergens." Infant advisory recommended.

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

The official Wyoming source

These rules are set by Wyoming Department of Agriculture, Consumer Health Services. This reflects their published guidance; still confirm the current details before printing.
