My First Online Order!

Hey everybody,

Quite a bit’s happened in the past couple of days that I wanted to share...

First, I heard from the FDA and Baron’s International Kitchen has been registered. Keep in mind that this is not for FDA approval. Rather, the regulation requires that all food manufacturers register with the FDA basically so they are aware of who is doing what. The FDA registration form was pretty intimidating but the process was remarkably smooth. If my experiences would be helpful to anyone out there who is going through the process too, let me know. I’d be happy to share specifics of my experiences to help a fellow entrepreneur get started.

The next thing I wanted to share is that the company has hit another milestone. The first online order came in today. YEY! I’m very excited about it. Thank you! Tomorrow I will package and ship the order. This is certainly one of the biggest milestones and I’m so happy to have made it this far.

The last thing that’s going on is that I’m headed into the kitchen tomorrow morning to produce and bottle the hot sauce. It will be an early day as usual- a 5 AM start but to all of you out there who have been waiting to buy the hot sauce, hang in there for just a few more days. You’ll soon be able to order this gourmet hot sauce on the website. I’ll let you all know when.

Next week, I’ll head into the kitchen to produce the Portuguese Repolho Relish and then I’ll have all the initial products available for purchase. I’ll need to register these last 2 products with the FDA but now that I’ve been through that process, I don’t expect it to be a challenge.

Check back soon for new and exciting news,

Terry
