FOOD INFORMATION
Food disclosure & seller responsibility.
Arctic Plate can list different kinds of independent food sellers. The rules that apply can differ by seller, product, preparation environment, location, and fulfillment method.
ALASKA HOMEMADE FOOD DISCLOSURE
Required disclosure
“This food was made in a home kitchen, is not regulated or inspected, except for meat and meat products, and may contain allergens.”
This disclosure applies where Alaska homemade-food requirements call for it. Licensed or permitted food businesses may operate under different requirements.
MARKETPLACE NOTICE
Not every seller is the same.
Products on Arctic Plate may come from different types of independent local food sellers. Preparation environments, permits, licensing, inspection status, and required disclosures may differ by seller and product.
Review the seller profile, product information, and applicable disclosures before ordering.
ALASKA-ONLY SALES
Homemade food has state-specific limits.
Alaska DEC states that homemade food may be sold online to consumers in Alaska, but homemade-food interstate commerce is not allowed. Local governments may add requirements, including within Anchorage.
THIRD-PARTY MARKETPLACE RULES
Some homemade foods require direct producer-to-consumer sales.
Alaska DEC distinguishes between potentially hazardous and non-potentially hazardous homemade foods. Potentially hazardous homemade food must be sold directly by the producer. For non-potentially hazardous homemade food, an agent of the producer — including certain food hubs and retail locations — may sell on the producer’s behalf when the applicable requirements are met. Arctic Plate may restrict listings or seller workflows to follow those rules.
Arctic Plate is a marketplace and does not guarantee that a product is legal to sell. Sellers must only list items they are allowed to sell and must follow applicable food-source, labeling, allergen, licensing, and local requirements.
