Question Hi, I manufactured sauces and spices in Colorado. Now I live in South Lake Tahoe Ca and would like to start up here. I am having a devil of a time finding out EXACTLY what licenses and food labeling requirements I need for this state. Am also looking at Nevada. I have been to their health dept. websites but I find it confusing. I can get a licensed kitchen to produce but then what????
Answer Hi Alice,
I guessing that you don't produce enough to fall under the federal labelling requirements from FDA.
I am not well versed enough in state laws to give you the exact solution. You could try a local university, they often have small business incubators that could help, try the NASFT at http://www.specialtyfood.com or contact some licensed kitchens and find out what their range of services are.
