Looking for suggestions on bottling and shipping my product

[TruePaige]

Hey guys,

I'm really looking for advice as I've never made and shipped food products before. I'm trying to ship a sauce that will be able to stay good on the shelf until it's opened.

It contains mayonnaise and milk and I'm not sure how to keep it good on the shelf.

Any advice?

Is that similar to how companies like Kraft get mayonnaise packaged and stays good?

How the heck do you keep anything based on milk good though?

I really don't know much about this subject.

Now taking bets on how long before TruePaige's Mansauce claim's its first botulism victim

You'd probably have to pasteurize the milk. I think it would be kind of tricky. You probably want to find somewhere online that specializes in this kind of thing.

It's tasty! Has lots of sweet flavor.

I know people who make Ranch and Thousand Island (Other Milk-based dressings) have had to contend with this.

That's gross. :laugh:

Seriously though, you buy Kraft Mayonnaise in the stores. How does the mayonnaise not go bad sitting there.

Ranch / Thousand Island are based on milk how do they not go bad?

Makes you think.

Bump for maybe some of you coming on at night might be able to give advice?

Stupid milk. I thought Canned Milk might work, but will it start to grow bacteria when the air hits it when I mix it in?

It'll have to be retorted and pasteurized.

Velveeta cheese has milk in it and it stays on shelf, but the fridge after opening. I don't know how that helps you but oh well.

Even refrigerated milk will grow bacteria. Pasteurization eliminates all the "bad" microorganisms, but milk will spoil due to Pseudomonas growth. Although not lethal in anyway it results in a frowned upon product.
