Temporary Food Service Establishment Guidelines | |||||||
Fairs, Festivals, and Special EventsThere are no permits required by the State of Kansas for Special Events as long as they do not exceed 14 days and are in conjunction with a single event or celebration. However, it is expected that they will conform to good food handling practices for foods that are served to the public. This is done in part by limiting the menu items served. The state regulation reads:
|
 |
|
This does not prohibit pre-packaged foods from approved sources which are prepared in individual servings, stored at proper temperatures, and served directly to the public in the original unopened container. Convenient hand washing facilities must be available for employee hand washing. |
|
Mobile Food UnitsMobile food service operations or pushcarts are in many ways like a temporary food service operation. They have limited menus, and provide food served from single service articles only. The mobile units are expected to have all the facilities of a full service operation if they prepare food on site. The pushcarts and limited food service vehicles must have hand washing facilities. This includes a potable water supply with hot and cold water, soap, paper towels, and a retention tank 15% larger in capacity than the potable water supply to catch the waste water. They are also required to have a commissary or a fixed food service operation where they can report daily for restocking and cleaning.
