Those are some crazy costs for label approval!
How can they not allow you to sell directly outside of San Diego County when the law specifically allows it?

Today we moved our CFO Pro plan out of beta, and it now costs $5 per month. Thanks to everyone who tried it out while it was in beta!

Forrager’s laws and CFOs pages now have filtering capabilities, which make it much easier to find information. Now you can answer questions like “Which states allow online sales?” and “Who makes granola in Nevada?” You can even answer more complex questions like “Who makes gluten-free birthday cakes in California?” The new filter dropdowns are…[Read more]

Also, I think you might need to take a Food Manager course, which is well beyond the training you took for your CFO. You will need to get another business license because I’m pretty sure you can’t use the same one that your CFO uses. The kitchen you rent will probably require you to get insurance.

I don’t know too much about going the commercial route, but I know that it can be complex. You are probably going to get very familiar with the health dept in the process. I believe that you need to create a number of detailed plans, about what you make and exactly how you make it. What is your waste disposal plan, where do you source ingredients,…[Read more]

David B.- Just wondering which hourly commercial kitchens you are looking into in LA? I’ve found one downtown and one in Santa Monica, but we’re way out in the west Valley, almost to Ventura County, so neither is very convenient. Maybe you know of something I haven’t found yet?

David B replied to the topic Commercial Kitchen in the forum California 9 years, 4 months ago
I am in the same position as Jess. There are several commercial kitchens in LA that can be rented by the hour, so that’s not really the issue. What I am looking for is this: what else do I need to do to make my business legit? I’ve been operating for 2 years as a CFO-B. If anyone know anyone who has made this transition, thanks for letting me…[Read more]
