Connections Food Safety Webinar: NCDA&CS Food Program
Video from NC State Extension. Watch on YouTube.
What you'll get
The administrator of the NC Department of Agriculture's food program walks through the home processor application step by step, adding spoken detail on the no-pets rule, water and kitchen standards, the required business plan, labels and allergens, and says North Carolina has no cottage food law and doesn't charge for the inspection. Audience questions at the end cover canning and what to do if you can't qualify, so watch it when you want the reasons behind the written page's steps.
Do this week
Write the one-page plan the state asks for: each product by name, its ingredients and suppliers, where you'll store things, how you'll make it, how you'll transport it and where you'll sell it.
