Ich mag es sehr, kleine, gesunde Snacks (meistens Süßigkeiten) zu machen und möchte sie in meiner Nachbarschaft in Zürich verkaufen.
Ist das erlaubt? Was sind die Regeln?
Hat jemand damit erlebt? Was würden Sie empfehlen?

Don’t get caught lol
Swiss food laws are pretty strict, so it’s not easy to do legally (and I can’t really advise on how to do it illegally). Generally, you’d need to register your activity with the cantonal authorities, use a commercial-grade kitchen, pass health inspections, and obtain the necessary food service licenses. Possible, depending on how serious you are about it, but infeasible for a hobby.
I’m pretty certain you will need to register with the canton, and you will require a certificate. Also your kitchen should be inspected and up to the required standards. If you google you.will.get all the links
damn are those energy balls? if you ever move to geneva let me know
All schools and fundraisers are home baked goods, so it seems possible without much of an issue. But maybe there are exceptions.
The main issue is to find a location, there are licenses to set up even a mobile location.
You could start with selling along at local shops (consignment and revenue sharing deal)
Switzerland has a lot of food regulations. I was shocked when I came here for University
Just pretend you’re selling drugs and the police and authorities will ignore you.
The top rule is to not eat them all yourself and not have any left to sell.
It’s allowed, but in most cases, you can’t just go out and sell homemade food without meeting certain requirements. In Switzerland, and specifically in Zürich, if you sell food regularly, even as little as once per month, you need to register with the KLZH ([klzh.ch](https://www.klzh.ch/)). When you register, they will ask for your health and safety protocol, which must describe exactly how you ensure food hygiene and safety. They may also choose to inspect your kitchen to check that your processes and setup meet legal standards.
Even if you only sell a few products per month, you are fully responsible for complying with food safety laws. This includes things like:
• Thorough and regular cleaning of all kitchen surfaces, utensils, and equipment.
• Ensuring that all products are stored properly, this means that containers and bottles must be sealable, and your fridge must maintain the correct temperature for the products you keep inside.
• You need a system to track product dates: if something you use doesn’t have a date from the manufacturer (or if you remove the original label), you must document when it was opened and when it expires.
Additionally, all products must be properly labeled with ingredients and allergens. You must prevent cross-contamination, for example, if a product could contain traces of nuts, you have to declare that clearly. If you sell something with undeclared allergens and a customer suffers a reaction, you can face serious legal consequences, including jail time.
If someone gets food poisoning from your product, the health authorities will investigate. You’ll need to prove that you followed your hygiene and safety protocol properly, for instance, that you had a cleaning schedule, that you kept your kitchen and tools clean, and that you tracked dates and didn’t use expired ingredients. If the authorities find that your issue was due to negligence (e.g., you didn’t clean your stove regularly or you used old eggs), you could face major legal trouble.
You don’t need to register a business if your turnover is under CHF 100,000 per year. However, you can register voluntarily (for example, for liability or insurance reasons).
You actually will need a “Bewilligung” from authorities . The relevant law can be looked up on http://www.fedlex.admin.ch Nr. 817 Lebensmittel und Gebrauchsgegenstände. You will also have to check with cantonal authorities & provide things like a HACCP concept and proof of rooms suitable for food production. So no not a very easy side hustle.
Idk man just try it and the police will tell you what you can do
