Hi arunmuthuvel,

Given the wording in your question, I would assume your interests are

Thanks,

be able to do it without engaging a consultant or lawyer. You'll need
to contact the Foods and Drugs Control Administration (FDCA) for full
details, the following FDCA website will get you off to a good start.
