Temporary Food Stand Guidelines

Fair season is almost here!  Here are some reminders from the Kansas Department of Agriculture for serving food safely in food stands.

  • Food prepared in private home may not be used or offered
  • All equipment needed for the intended operation must be on hand
  • Food contact surfaces must be protected from contamination by consumers
  • There must be separate areas for taking money and preparing food.
  • Dishwashing must include washing, rinsing and sanitizing equipment.
  • A handwashing facility must be available with hot/warm water, soap, and paper towels.
  • Only one raw, potentially hazardous food that requires onsite preparation or cooking can be made or served.
