Making food can be a form of nourishment, tradition, therapy, joy, and even profit.  Starting a food business, however, is more than just a “piece of cake.”  Intense competition, limited access to production facilities, and complex food and health regulations are disadvantages for entrepreneurs in this industry.  Join us to learn which food production regulations apply to your product. We will also discuss risk reduction strategies, food manufacturing options, and licensing requirements for your food product company.

Presented by ASBTDC consultant Angela Gardner. Representatives from the Arkansas Department of Health will be available for Q & A.
