Board approves Vineyard Baker residential kitchen permit pending inspection
Summary
The Board approved a residential kitchen permit for Vineyard Baker (Teri Culetto) for cottage‑food‑compliant breads and shelf‑stable items, subject to inspection and standard permit conditions through Dec. 31, 2026; staff discussed labeling, allergen awareness, and sanitation.
The Tisbury Board of Health voted May 26 to approve a residential kitchen permit for Vineyard Baker, a proposed cottage‑food operation run by applicant Teri Culetto.
Culetto described a menu of breads and shelf‑stable baked goods that staff determined fit within residential kitchen limitations because the products will not require refrigeration for safety. Board members and staff discussed labeling and allergen awareness, ServSafe and allergen certification, dishwasher sanitization, ingredient handling, and the importance of separating household use from business operations.
The Board approved the residential kitchen permit subject to a successful inspection and standard permit conditions; the permit term was set to expire Dec. 31, 2026.
