Actually anyone with an herb room may be subject to the same " food-grade "

zoning. It's not that tough escept for double and triple sinks requirement which

can be expensive. The rest is OK, tile floors, herbs 6 inches off the ground

etc... It's basically up to the local government

to enforce and you may or may not be able to " fly under the radar " for a while

depending on how sharp the authorities are. Good luck, I think those packaging

machines are great.
