Temporary Food Service

We work to protect community health by working with food service operators, and the community to avoid health hazards, resulting in fewer food illness outbreaks and complaints.

Temporary Food Service Establishment Defined

It is a place where food is prepared or handled and served to the public, with or without charge, and which operates at a fixed location in conjunction with a single event or celebration of not more than 14 consecutive days' duration.
