What you'll get

For sauces, pickles and other jarred goods that may be acidified: this NC State Extension publication lists the steps to sell such a product at retail in order, from a lab test that sorts it as acid or acidified to an online course for your production supervisor, FDA canning registration, testing tools and an optional nutrition panel, with a price on several steps. Use it to build a startup budget before you buy jars, because the test, the course and the registration all come before your first sale.
