What kind of regulations would one face when making a beverage for commercial production? Do you have to do so in a commercial kitchen or approved warehouse space? I you have any info, leads or might know someone with this information please let me know. I have been trying to find this information for some time and have been unsuccessful in my attempts. Thanks!

Looks like the FDA has inspectors, here is a blank inspection form:

And, a chapter from their inspection manual:

SUBCHAPTER 5.4 - FOOD


My advice? Turn to the professionals. Even though this message board is on a professional website, it's mostly beverage enthusiasts and street level beverage employees that post here.

This company provides all sorts of consulting, from procuring ingredients to hiring copackers:
