The inclusion of meat, potatoes, or vegetables disqualifies you from being a CFO. I haven’t found that people are resistant to buying from a home-prepared item, but you don’t have to worry about it because you’re forced to use a commercial kitchen to stay legal.

If you’ve remove it from its package, I don’t think you can even sell commercially-prepared dry pasta.

CO just amended their law and is unlikely to follow suit anytime soon. It sounds like you will need to build a commercial kitchen, either on your property or elsewhere.

Very true! Since I do not plan on taking out a loan on this business and do not have the time to pour my life into it, I’m focused on making the first 15 sales. Slow and steady. I’m not a control freak, but as a one-woman show, I am R and D, Packaging, Accounting, Marketing and the Test Kitchen all in one! Luckily, in California we do have a high sales limit, which is nice. Appropo always, thanks!
