Hello all, and thanks for your time.
I am in the process of starting a small fishing bait company that will only be doing online sales. The baits have been tested and are preserved in a way that does not require them to be refrigerated, the whole appeal being that they can be kept in fisherman's tackle boxes for long periods of time without spoiling.
My primary concern is that I am currently making these bait in my house, and will continue to do so until my sales support me renting a location to make them.
1) Is is legal to make this product in a home and sell it, if it is not intended for human consumption?
2) Are there specific permits needed if I am remaking food items (fish, squid, etc.) into fishing baits for sale?
Am I making this into a bigger issue than it really is, or do I need to hire a lawyer to figure out the answers to my questions?
Thank you,
Bradly B.
