This was really fascinating! I often wonder about food labeling and what/who is actually behind packaged foods. Great presentation.

[@emilykim1291]

This information was so helpful thanks so much!!!!

[@willmanprw1]

I just came across your channel; you had my interest, now you have my attention. I have an herb and spice blend that I want to market, I’ve sent samples to friends and family members asking them to try it in their recipes, they all love it. What’s more important, the people they’ve cooked for all think their dishes are from a restaurant. Not to take away from their cooking, this blend adds a lot to their recipes. I’m currently researching on how to produce my spice blend for the masses. This video has helped. For future reference, my spice and herb blend is called “Rhett’s Kentucky Blend”.

[@FoodBizSuccess]

Hi Rhett, I am so glad this was helpful. I am sure it is delicious! I have several great spice co-manufacturers I have used with clients and they are super happy not to be making it themselves. I would love to help you in your journey. Food Business Success is open through 1/31 to get help from me live and make this dream a reality. I would love to meet you! foodbizsuccess.com

[@willmanprw1]

@@FoodBizSuccess I’m literally at GO, and am rolling the dice, starting at zero. 😃 Can’t wait. 😁

[@willmanprw1]

I’m sorry, I don’t read many comments or reply’s since I’m a common dude, but I guess I’ll have to change my ways 😃 How can I send you a bottle, try it out for yourself. It literally can go on anything; chicken, pot roast or fillet mignon.

[@kinkos33]

Excellent info! Thanks!

[@Jmoua1001]

[@millicentclarke1964]

Thanks for this information. Quite helpful.

[@FoodBizSuccess]

You're welcome!

[@mauricio-from-chi-town]

Brand new here...does one buy the ingredients or does the co packer buy the exact ones from my recipe?

[@eh3358]

very good Video Thanks

[@FoodBizSuccess]

Thank you!

[@angelaswyers2077]

I have already been contacted by a few major retailer's. They are wanting 18 of my products. It's a major deal. I own Mauki's Bakery and restaurant in St Louis Mo.

[@FoodBizSuccess]

That's so exciting! If you want support with this next level, I offer 1:1 coaching that has really helped the clients I work with to feel more confident and move faster. Sari

[@davidbowa147]

Great video, could give us some insight on the best preservatives to use for products like sauces and other condiments.

[@FoodBizSuccess]

It depends on what your goal is. Are you trying to keep it shelf stable or extend the shelf life? I recommend joining the Facebook group (link in the description of the video) and then asking your question there. I am able to reply much quicker.

[@tobywhitney4798]

Thanks for the video. I’ve got some seasoning rub recipes I’ve been thinking about doing something like this with them.

[@FoodBizSuccess]

Hi Toby - I work with a lot of seasoning folks and have some great copackers I can help you connect with. Consider applying for Food Business Success to get help!

[@tobywhitney4798]

Ok thank you

[@tobywhitney4798]

[@user-db6wj2zz4o]

Hello, love your Chanel. Can you recommend a good label maker and co-packer for a spice blend? Thanks, Jimmy

[@igohardinthetaco]

Awesome video! What is the name of the coffee roasting company in CA nhat your referenced around 14:00?

[@danielleknuckles]

Thanks for the videos! Can you do a video on the types of food packaging insurance? I thought of that when you mentioned needing an address on the food label in case the FDA needs to contact you. I'm thinking if they need to contact you, you're in big trouble and need to be insured.

[@FoodBizSuccess]

Yes, product liability insurance is definitely a best practice whether you are selling at a farmers market or to a retail store.

[@FoodBizSuccess]

I would just get product liability insurance. I usually recommend FLIP.com which offers a $1M policy for $299/yr

[@joycefragoso4283]

Hi this video was very informative thanks, I’ll be reaching out to you on your website

[@FoodBizSuccess]

Thank you!

[@tolusdiary9437]

Looking into packaging my meatpies.

[@FoodBizSuccess]

This is Sari's VA. You can join us at facebook.com/groups/foodbizsuccess so you can personally ask Sari your question.

[@mohamedbrahimi8020]

How does the co- Packing work if the products is destined for export as far as licensing goes?

[@stuffychicks1196]

Hi Sari LOVE your videos! I have a question. I’m interested in getting into the frozen french fry business and would like to know if I buy fries in bulk from lets say a big french fry company like McCain, am I allowed to repackage it to resell under my companies name? Is this possible by law?

[@dollbabyforever8586]

Great information. Thanks

[@FoodBizSuccess]

Glad it was helpful!

[@thomastyler3190]

I have recipe and interested in starting a Dipping sauce and barbecue sauce

[@annaphillips1193]

I have been selling hot Pepper 🌶 sauce for a while now, but wants private label and co picking to help.

[@stevenburton3153]

In your example the co-packer was also sending the product to the customer. If my co-packer is creating and shipping directly to a fulfillment center would I require any special licensees, or would I have to register with the FDA ? Thank you for the information.

[@FoodBizSuccess]

Probably not. Your state might have a business license of some kind, but. you won't need anything from a health department standpoint

[@vineetmahajan2231]

Hi, This is great. I run an e-comm business, looking to expand our brands product range into food/grocery items. These products have a shelf life of 6-12 months. We are based in Australia but sell in North America. We already have a US based private label manufacturer who have agreed to manufacture the product for us under our label. I am not sure, what are the requirements for us as a non-US based company to start selling food products online?

[@FoodBizSuccess]

There will be some import issues to navigate. Unfortunately, this is not an area I know much about.

[@annanerenberg7781]

I haven’t considered this as a startup. Any suggestions on how to find a copacker?

[@FoodBizSuccess]

Where are you located? There are some national databases and also some state databases. What is your product? I suggest joining the Facebook group (link in comments) and then you can ask there and it will be easier for me to reply there.

[@TexasGovernor]

Can you further clarify a rock solid NDA?

[@FoodBizSuccess]

A co-packer has one they can use if you don't have your own. I would have it reviewed by an attorney if this is going to be a large contract.

[@caydenmacfriends]

A seafood sauce.

[@FoodBizSuccess]

I can help you with your sauce inside Food Business Success!

[@DiegoMorales-by1ms]

Question. What if I plan to use a co packer located in a different country? For example I’m in the U.S and the co packer I plan to use is in Mexico. They’ll be manufacturing and packaging the product. At first I’ll be distributing my product until I have a customer base and it makes sense to have the co packer send the product to the seller directly

[@FoodBizSuccess]

This is Sari's assistant. You can join facebook.com/groups/foodbizsuccess so Sari can personally answer your question.

[@FoodBizSuccess]

You will need to work with an importer with the proper credentials and get all of your licenses worked out to sell legally. All of your labels will need to be FDA compliant as well.

[@fergu588]
