A one-page map from NC State Extension of which office oversees which kind of food business: county health departments for food served ready to eat, the state agriculture department for most packaged food and in-state meat, and USDA for meat shipped across state lines. Some agency names in it are out of date, so use it for the shape of the system, call the current office, and let the NCDA home processor page settle any home-kitchen question.

Using the page, write down which office oversees your product, then call that office to confirm it.
