What is the process and requirements for getting FDA approval to sell beverages in the US and Canadian markets?

Members confirm that FDA approval is achievable but requires specialist support. The community's recommended approach: - **UK Beverage Services** — recommended as a starting point for FDA compliance guidance; members have referred this consultancy to each other for US market entry - **Campden BRI** — can review beverages for compliance requirements One member reported the process "wasn't as hard as we thought," suggesting it's manageable with the right support, but no member in this discussion shared detailed step-by-step protocols or timelines. For kosher certification (often paired with FDA compliance planning), members recommend **Kosher.org.uk**.
