County Fair Food Safety Guidance

It’s almost fair time! Fairs bring together many people for fun, food, and more. Fair food stands are temporary but they still need to comply with food safety guidelines. To help reduce risks that could lead to foodborne illness issues, many resources are available to help guide food stands or other food service operations at www.ksre.k-state.edu/foodsafety/topics/4h.html.

Handling animals can also lead to foodborne illnesses if hands are not washed. Resources are also available on the above website.

Have a safe and fun fair!

Posters are available in the KSRE Resources, Nutrition, Food Safety and Health PFT Teams entitled “4H Food Stand Signs.”
