Resources & Steps for Acidified Processors
This lesson is a guide published by NC State Extension.
Read the guideWhat you'll get
An NC State Extension checklist for anyone making acidified foods, such as pickles and some sauces, to sell: take an FDA-recognized supervisor course, have your product reviewed by a process authority, keep the required records, buy the pH, temperature and timing tools, register with FDA and file each scheduled process. It lists the federal forms, records and equipment in the order you would tackle them but gives no prices, so pair it with the jarred goods lesson above for costs.
Do this week
Make a two-column list of the records and equipment the page names, mark what you already have, and price the rest.
