I am currently formulating an herbal remedy that will be deliverable via a spray bottle to the mouth. What sort of regulations do I need to look out for in terms of producing a consumable product out of my home? I assume there are both federal and local regulations. I'm in Massachusetts if anyone has experience doing anything similar here.
I know I will be exempt from a nutrition label, and I plan on printing ingredients on the bottle. Given that I am marketing it as an herbal or natural remedy, I assume I wil need to put the typical "these claims not endorsed by the FDA" label on there as well. Will I need to establish a dedicated area of preparation, or simply be able to show I bring my work area up to a certain standard of cleanliness when I produce and package my product?
If anyone has been in a similar boat and has any links to specific regulation, I would greatly appreciate them. I've been trying to search through the FDA website, but I've found it hard to discern what is and is not applicable to me. Thanks!
