So i am looking to try and expand my business into mail order cookies and homemade marshmallows but am intimidated by packaging, shipping and labeling. I have found some good info about how to deal with shipping and packaging but I am having trouble coming up with info on labeling! Does anyone happen to have any advice. Thanks!

Great Question! I am interested to see the replies to this post too. 
For Florida, you have to be completely licensed through the department of agriculture to sell cookies through the internet and mail. You cannot partake in the Cottage Food Act if you want to go that route, which increases the cost significantly for licensing, etc. They told me that if you're going to sell cookies to retail outlets (i.e. big-box stores, gourmet markets) you need to have a detailed listing of your ingredients as well as the scientific terms, weight, your information, etc. OH! Also, it is helpful to have labels that are water-resistant. Then, just have your label artwork created and forward to a printing company.
Best of luck to you!
This is a topic I've often wondered about.... How do u kno what to put on the label? How to word it etc. Do the cottage food law people provide this info?? I would love to kno all this
