Cost depends on the certifier, the complexity of the products to be produced (slaughter and fabrication only vs. further processed products) and the size of the operation to some extent. A ballpark figure is $1500, including the inspector’s travel time and expenses. This is an annual fee and process, though renewing certification is a less time-consuming process.
