Register with the State Health Authority

Approved recipes from the processing authority, product plans and documentation and proposed product labels all need to be submitted to the State Health Authority. You should talk to the local health department about your product to understand what you need to consider.

Each state has different registration procedures and costs based on the food products and the specific food safety situation. Once you submit your application, the health department will send back a formal response that tells you which areas need to be addressed in order to get approved.

Discuss and reply with the changes needed. You can always contact the health department for clarity. The health department is there to help you have a successful and safe business.
