What BakeBadge checks

Product risk, state posture, and where you want to sell

01

State rules layer

State notes, source links, sales-cap freshness, permit reminders, and label flags live in separate data.

02

Product risk layer

Standard baked goods start clean. Refrigerated, meat, seafood, and acidified products get cautious fast.

03

Channel guidance

Pickup and markets usually look cleaner than shipping or wholesale. BakeBadge tells you why.
