Pre-event preparation and set up

Food must be prepared as close as possible to the time of the event. If prepared the night before, all readily perishable food must be refrigerated. (Please note that food may only be re-heated once. Any re-heated food not sold on the day must be disposed of).

Food must be transported and stored on site in covered container and cold-stored in a refrigerator or chilly bin at a temperature less than 5oC, or hot-hold above 60oC.

Food must be stored at least 450mm above the ground.

For public safety, any cooking unit must not be facing the public or accessible to the public. Stallholders utilising open fires (e.g. BBQs) must have access to a fire extinguisher or fire blanket. LPG cylinders are to be properly secures, stored in an open area and all connecting hoses must be in good repair.

There must be some form of ground covering under the cooking and serving area (such as a polythene sheet etc.).

During the event

Cooking and hot or cold holding equipment will be adequate for the quality of food being cooked/sold (i.e. No small single burners underneath large pots).

Actual preparation of food at the event, as distinct from cooking of food, must be kept to a minimum.

People handling food must wear appropriate protective clothing to protect the food from contamination by their ordinary clothes and/or hair.

People handling food must take care to regularly wash their hands. Keep a good supply of protective gloves available.

People preparing food should not handle money.

Cooked food, or vegetables eaten raw (lettuce, grated carrot etc.) must not come into contact with raw meats or any surfaces or utensils used to prepare raw meats.

Ensure all hot food is place in a food warmer after cooking, or served immediately. Keep readily perishable food hot (above 60oC) or cold (at 5oC or less). A thermometer will be useful to verify temperatures.

Only single service containers are permitted (plates, cutlery etc.).

Stallholders selling medium to high risk food are required to have a continuous supply of hot water for the washing of hands and cleaning utensils at the stall site. All waste effluent water must be collected in a suitable container for disposal in a sewer drainage system.

Stallholders operating a sausage sizzle or selling pre-cooked low risk foods are required to use disposable gloves (which are changed regularly) and an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

11.

All rubbish generated by the activities at the cooking area and at the venue in general must be kept tidily in bins with lids and collected and removed from the site at the end of the day.
