How to Make a Living Making Food
Time: 8:30am - 10:00am
Category: Business
Making food is one thing; making a living is entirely different. In this brief workshop, La Cocina, the Department of Public Health and the FDA San Francisco District Office will review the fundamental considerations that any food entrepreneur should consider before launching this next phase of their life. La Cocina will review business planning resources, available kitchen spaces, techniques for assessing the marketplace and referrals to support organizations. The FDA San Francisco District Office will focus on what is required when you start selling your food product on the internet and come under the jurisdiction of the federal government. It will address good manufacturing practices, food labeling regulations and the federal laws including the Food Safety Modernization Act (Preventive Controls), the Food Allergen & Consumer Protection Act, the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and others. If you have high aspirations for the sales of your product, this workshop will inform you as to future requirements.
All programs are extended to the public on a nondiscriminatory basis. Reasonable arrangements for persons with disabilities will be made, if requested at least 2 weeks in advance. For more information, contact info@sfsmallbusinessweek.com.
