It was introduced at the New York State Fair in 1998 and has become the second most profitable maple food product after maple ice cream, according to the NYS Maple Producers Association. Cotton candy that is prepared for immediate consumption can be placed in a food grade balloon bag or served on a paper cone. It can also be prepared and packaged for wholesale or retail sale. This bulletin outlines guidelines for producing and packaging maple cotton candy prior to sale online, in-stores, or at onsite locations.
