What kind of food handling and booth requirements do we have to have to set up at a special event?
Your Environmental Health Specialist can provide you with an easy to follow handout with information on the requirements for setting up a food booth and safe food handling. The handout explains the type of structure and equipment required based on the type of foods you will be serving. Foods that are wrapped/packaged or are considered non-hazardous require less restrictive requirements than those foods that are potentially hazardous or un-packaged. For safe food handling, the handout provides procedures to verify foods are protected from contamination and monitoring for proper temperatures are explained in detail. In addition to booth and safe food requirements, adequate facilities for utensil and hand washing is also discussed in the handout.
