Learn the basics of what it takes to get started making value-added foods for resale. We will talk about regulatory bodies and which products they inspect, exemptions for home production, FDA labeling requirements, FSMA traceability requirements and more. We will also talk about Virginia Food Works and how we can help make value-added products in our cannery in Prince Edward County.
