What do I need to make and sell food legally?

I want to can and sell salsa and other foods, but I just need to know how to do it legally. I know it has to be cooked in a certified kitchen. I know all about the labeling. I have a food manager certification. I just need to know if there's anything I need to know about the canning process. I don't have any money to spare for legal stuff so I want to get it down right before I start selling.

All advice and shared experiences are welcomed.

    Well as long as this is not on a huge scale .. Let's say its just like a home business then its fine ... But if you are going to run a factory then health inspectors need to check you out.

    Canning is for later on now you must concentrate on building a customer base - check with town hall and public health people to see what regulations apply
