Selling Home-Made Food Products

Selling Home Made Food Products Online Questions? Just Ask! Home > Start-Up > Questions from Readers > Food Product Regulations Question from reader: What kind of license/health inspections etc. do you think would be involved in selling a home made food product from a web site? Answer from Brett Krkosska: Comply With Regulations Before Selling Home-Made Food Products Online Before starting a home business selling food products it's a good idea to investigate regulations on the local level, as well as state and federal mandates. The Food and Drug Administration is the federal regulatory body who sets national guidelines. More information can be found by visiting their website. You'll need to make some phone calls to research your requirements on the state and local level, as regulations vary with location. State governments vary as to what products may or may not be prepared and sold from home. For instance, canned goods are often prohibited. Many states require a food permit, and inspections from your local health department are to be expected. You may find that a commercial kitchen, or at the very least, a separate kitchen is required for home prepared foods. Call your state and local health agencies for information on permits and regulations that apply to your business. You'll also want to make sure you are in compliance with local zoning and licensing laws. Your county and city clerks are a good place to start. And of course, normal tasks such as registering your business name, registering a trademark, obtaining a sales tax certificate, getting adequate insurance coverage... should all be attended to before opening for business. << More Questions from Readers Search for more information about Selling Home-Made Food Products Web HomeBizTools.com Real-world, common sense strategies for small and home based business success.

Texas Land Survey precisely

WhiteStar Texas Land Survey TEXAS LAND SURVEY WhiteStar's Texas Land Survey is a seamless, high-resolution database of county boundaries, blocks, surveys, abstracts, subdivisions, lots, and tracts that is ideal for base maps and plotting land ownership and leases. The Texas Land Survey precisely overlays USGS Digital Orthophotos and Digital Raster Graphs, making it useful for indexing and analysis. Data Source WhiteStar's Texas Land Survey is based on official, researchable state records from the Railroad Commission of Texas. The original General Land Office surveys for 254 Texas counties were drafted onto USGS 1:24,000 series maps by the Texas Railroad Commission. Enhancement Using ESRI GIS technology, WhiteStar has digitized the survey lines and created polygonal coverages with attributes and map-friendly annotation. The resulting data are seamless across state and county boundaries and have cleaner lines, layers, and annotation than the original Railroad Commission data. We offer two versions of the Texas Land Survey data: vector - clean lines with annotation optimized for display and polygonal - attributed polygons optimized for well spotting and GIS queries. Content Data layers include County Boundary, Block, Survey, Abstract, Subdivision, Lot, Tract, Overlap Block, Overlap Survey, Overlap Abstract, Overlap Subdivision, and Overlap Lot. Subdivisions, lots, and tracts are available in attributed polygonal format only from WhiteStar. Tabular attributes include block, survey, abstract, subdivision, lot, and tract name and number. Format The Texas Land Survey is currently available in the following formats: ArcGIS Shapefiles, E00 Download Samples AutoCAD DXF, DWG GeoGraphix CDF Kingdom DXF, ASCII Landmark ASCII MapInfo Tab files Petra DXF, CDF Surfer DXF Coverage Complete State of Texas coverage, available by county or state. Application Land mapping, oil and gas exploration, pipeline mapping, agriculture, forestry, parcel mapping. Example of Texas Land Grid combined with wells and culture.
