Answer 1

You need to check and see if it has been invented, used, sold, etc. in the past (or hire an attorney to do so). But it is possible to patent a food product. Forget what people are saying about trademark and copyright...that does not apply here. Also, patent protection is 20yrs.

Answer 2

Yeah
