Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

I have come up with a whole new food product that is not currently being produced and would like to fine a copacker but I am a bit overwhelm with all the information and all the steps of what I need to do to get my product to the supermarket. It is a food that is gluten free, soy free and egg free and in my area I feel that it would have a place in the whole food industry. I need advice as to what steps to take. So far I have tested it out on my family and a doctors office.

I would really appreciate any advice I could get. Thank you!

I would suggest getting a mentor.  The little I know about food production is that it is complicated.  The more help you get, the better your chances of success. 

So, I would check out SCORE.org to see if there a someone who has experience with the food production industry.  SCORE is an organization of retired business executives so you should be able to get some good advice from anyone you find.  SCORE does online and offline mentoring. 

I hope that helps.
