Food for humans often requires you have a registered and inspected kitchen. Where I live, the sandwich trucks (and I think this includes ones selling only commercially prepackaged sandwiches) have to have a "home base" registered and inspected kitchen that they work from, even if they do not do any cooking in it or keep any food there. Food for animals often requires inspection by the State Agriculture Department. In my area they'll go around and take samples from grain bags in feed stores, using a tool called a "grain thief". It punctures the bag and takes out a small sample that can go to the lab for analysis. If the inspector is careful, the official patch he puts on the inspected bag properly covers the thief's hole, so that the bag doesn't rip open when a customer handles it. Sometimes the inspector is not quite careful enough. Oops! Your state ag department can tell you whether it's ok to sell those treats. It's likely there is a particular inspection program already established for such items, and all you have to do is find out about it, and then pay an inspection fee. The fee will either be minimal (designed around the cost of the testing) or outrageous (designed to prevent non-grandfathered entrance into the marketplace). We have seen a situation where regulations for a particular kind of animal-related business required about $100,000 of capital expenditure on totally unnecessary fencing. The expected annual gross from the business was less than $10,000. It was clear that the purpose of the regulation was to prevent the business, rather than to obtain revenue or to improve safety or quality. So those are three different approaches to regulation: (1) Assure quality or safety, (2) protect favored businesses from additional competition, and (3) prevent a type of business without actually making it technically illegal. Only the first is a valid function of government, in most circumstances. On the other hand, if a store really does not want to be bothered with small vendors, such as yourself, pestering them with stuff they don't want, it's really easy to fall back on "the laws" or "our insurance" as a non-arguable way to say, "Get lost, kid." Perhaps your treats are perfectly legal and totally allowed. Ask your state's ag dept.

I have a wonderful recipe for molasses muffins and honey-oat cookies for horses. They do require baking though.

MUFFINS

1 1/2 cups bran
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup skimmed milk
1/2 cup molasses
2 tablespoons corn oil
1 egg, beaten

Stir together bran, flour, soda, and baking powder. Mix together milk, molasses, oil and egg. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Bake in greased or paper lined muffin tins at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes.

I love this site for horse cookies recipes!
