Do you still have to jump through the FDA hoops if maybe you're already purchasing pre-approved cuts of meat from another purveyor? All it is is using pork butts or pork picnic, various aromatics, and dried spices, and then cryo packing after a brining period. That's literally all it would be. Basically just putting the marinade together prepping it and letting it sit before shipping. Hell you could freeze them I'm supposed to selling them fresh, but I guess you'd want to get fresh butts in that haven't already been Frozen.There are food production facilities that rent and help you proof of concept products. They're usually associated with schools/colleges. We had one in Jersey run by one of our trainers called Rutgers Food Innovation center. They had an entire process line that could produce most items on a small/medium scale, and would literally rent out production time to various start ups until they finalized the production process and either move it to their own plant or find a comanufacturer. Likewise, we're a Co-man so we produce items already R&D'd, for example we do items for Rich's, Trader Joe's, etc that they don't have capacity to produce in their own plants.
What do people have to do if they want to sell spice blends her similar dry goods? Do they still have to jump through similar hoops?
