We have pig lard processed at a USDA facility. We are licensed and sell our pork at farmers markets, but my question is, are we able to render the USDA lard at home and sell at the market in mason jars if we label correctly? Or does that have to be done in a commercial kitchen in order to sell?
Lard is an animal product and would require a food license to be rendered and sold. The rendering would need to take place in a commercial kitchen and you must have a license with MDARD at that kitchen to process and sell the product.
