Yea. We're setting up the LLC now and working with UGA to get the product tested for shelf life and stuff. So far, co packers have a large minimum order that would put us into a panic trying to sell it all. Until we figure out the shelf life, we're holding off on that.
Look into Cornell food science they have a great program for testing shelf life. You can get into a local farmers market and even small mom and pop stores with cold pack sauce that is held at proper fridge temps. Not sure what your local permit processes are. But go simple to get traction and streamline your process then upgrade elements of your process (labels, containers, cooking procedures etc.)
Food business is so specific! It is better to look for subreddits dedicated to this topic, they will help you more
I didn't think to look for a food product niche subreddit. Thanks for pointing that out
