This will be an FDA certified facility that will produce your recipe. You'll want to find a co-packer that's near your target market, because shipping is one of the highest costs in this business. Sauce is heavy and fragile. Most co-packers have fairly large minimum requirements -- they make sauce in 150 gallon batches. If you're looking for a small run, you might be better off doing it in your own restaurant kitchen and selling it from the store. Other things you'll need: - Ingredients, shelf life, and process analysis - Recipes don't all scale the same, and the process you use in your own kitchen may not scale well. You may have different ingredient choices (a few cents/bottle really matters), and you need to make sure it's shelf stable. - Nutrition Label - After you have the recipe nailed down, you'll need an analysis to produce the FDA required nutrition label. - UPC Code - You have to join the UCC and get a code set assigned to you. It's about $800 to join. Otherwise, you're limited to mom-and-pop places that don't use scanners. - Products Liability Insurance - Co-packers, grocery stores, distributors, etc won't deal with you unless you're specifically covered for product liability insurance. - Product Label - Sauce doesn't jump off the shelf into people's hands, but the label is your single most important contact with the consumer. It's your best chance to stand out. - Distribution, marketing, etc.- This is the other 95% of what you'll be doing. You may have the greatest sauce in the world, but this business is all about marketing. Why is Kraft able to sell such mediocre barbeque sauce in such huge quantities? It's not about the taste of the sauce. Just because you build it doesn't mean they'll come. Here's a good NC website on what it takes to get started. Most of the legal stuff is federal, so this will be helpful even to you in MT. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/foodsc...ograms/ncfood/ While bottling a sauce sounds easy, you can easily get $10K wrapped up in getting that first bottle of sauce out the door. It took me eight months to produce the first commercially available bottle of "Greg's Happy Sauce". -- Greg Leman Carolina Sauce Company, Inc. http://www.carolinasauce.com A wide variety of sauces and specialty foods over the web. |

Although I wonder how he can create Carolina Q in MT. I've been posting to this group since last year. And when I responded, he hadn't spewed his spam yet. So I guess I fell for his bait. Silly me, just trying to be helpful. I also challenge you to point out the commercial content of my post other than the website in the tagline.

I consider putting a website in yer sigline perfectly acceptable, BTW. -- Intuitive insights from Nick, Retired in the San Fernando Valley http://operationiraqichildren.org/ |

I think that Nick *might* have slightly jumped the gun here, or maybe he just thought it *was* an interesting coincidence... BOB |
