Requirements for the operation of a temporary food stall
Stall requirements
A temporary food stall must have a roof and three sides designed to maintain adequate ventilation and protection of food. The stall shall be of plastic or vinyl type sheeting and care must be taken to ensure the stall is stable and secure – three sides/walls required where open food is being prepared, handled and/or cooked on-site.
An overhead cover must be provided to all cooking areas or food storage areas outside of the stall.
Where the ground is unsealed or where food is being processed and/or cooked onsite a durable dust and moisture cover must be laid over the entire floor area of the stall. A suitable material would be an impervious membrane such as rubber matting.
All stall counter surfaces shall be smooth, durable and impervious. Surfaces can be covered with plastic or plastic table cloths to meet this requirement. Surfaces that cannot be easily cleaned, such as wood, will not be accepted.
