Environmental Health Service's Food Safety Program helps
to protect the public from food borne illnesses. It is our mission to
keep food facility operators aware of, and in compliance with, the minimum
standards established by the California Uniform Retail Food Facilities Law,
which regulates the sale and distrib- ution of food to the public.
Throughout the year many communities have small gatherings or fairs to
celebrate a specific event or theme. Other times a community event is
for a single purpose. At most of these events, food is offered for
sale.
California law requires the organizer of any event where food is available
to obtain a permit from Environmental Health. Additionally, all
vendors (both for-profit and non-profit) authorized to be at the event must
have a Health Permit issued from Environmental Health.
Following the Temporary Food Facility (TFF)Guideline will assist food
facility Organizers and Operators in providing safe food to the public by
meeting the minimum standards of the State Health Code.
The person, or Organizer, responsible for the event must complete the
Organizer's Forms Packet and is
responsible for organizing all participating temporary food facilities. Each
temporary food facility must complete the
Temporary Booth Packet. The Organizer's Forms and Temporary
Booth Forms must be submitted to Environmental Health Services
at least two weeks prior to the date community event is scheduled to
commence.
