Our Services:
FTC’s primary function is educational, providing newcomers to the commercial
food manufacturing business a crash course in the basics. Our comprehensive
seminars enable those with no prior knowledge or experience in commercial
food production to immediately and confidently start a new food business
with 100% FDA compliance. Moreover our training manual contains all the
contact resources necessary to manufacture your food product without
investing large sums in equipment and staff. We show you how to locate and
use 3rd party certified kitchens and delegate many of the duties required
(like FDA required testing & documentation) to experienced personnel who
offer their services and provide you access to their Health Dept.
inspected/approved facilities for a small fee. Because you only pay for the
time you are actually producing your food product(s), you no longer need to
spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to equip your own plant. Whether you
need large kettles for cooking, huge ovens for baking, big food processors
for mixing, assembly-line filling, bottling, and labeling.it's all available
to you for a nominal fee. Why invest in cooking, bottling and labeling
equipment when you're only producing cases of product by the dozen? Many
people are amazed at how simple and inexpensive it is to produce their first
