Can I Add Branded Products to My Baskets?
Joy asks:
“Do we have to obtain consent from the various vendors in order to include their products in our baskets?”
When you buy products from wholesale sources, those sources provide you with items that need no permission for basket inclusion.
If you’re referring to products from vendors such as Hershey’s, Bath and Body Works, and Trader Joe’s, the answer is also “no.”
The only time there might be a problem is if you open the goods and repackage them.
Designers keep products sealed in its original packaging, touching the plastic, can, or jar and never directly touching the product unless your facility is licensed by your local board of health.
Home-based facilities cannot get such licensing, while commercial spaces can apply for a food handler’s license.
You are free to add anyone’s goods within your gift basket as long as it’s included the way it was packaged when you received it.
