My land-grant university - Virginia Tech - does all my testing and analysis FOR FREE. Any product analyzed in less in two weeks, with a written report telling me whether or not it is an acidified food. Many states have similar programs - you don't have to pay a lab to do the analysis for you. I then take this report and file it with the FDA (form 2570a, I believe - available on the FDA site). Basically, it shouldn't cost you a lot of money to get up-and-running. And bottling costs should be about $0.50/bottle, plus ingredients, glass, and labels. -- Robert Farr (540) 668-7160 Check out http://www.thechileman.com for Hot Sauces, Salsas, Mustards & More!
