1 Food Safety TEMPORARY FOOD SERVICE GUIDELINE The following guideline is intended to assist individuals wishing to obtain a permit to operate a temporary food service. Temporary foodservices have a time-limited life (e.g. special events, concessions at fairs and festivals), operating no more than 14 days per year. These guidelines apply to all food service establishments at temporary events, unless they are already under permit as a mobile facility (full-size enclosed vehicle or cart). Temporary facilities that are supplied from an existing, fixed, permitted establishment must still obtain approval and the operator must obtain a permit. Note: there is no charge or fee to obtain the permit. These guidelines refer to the physical setup and operational requirements of temporary food services. In addition to these guidelines, the operator must be aware of, and comply with requirements of the BC Food Premises Regulation. It can be viewed at Exempt Foods The following foods are exempt and do not require a permit. If you are only serving these foods, no application is required. Cotton candy, hard candy Donuts/bannock (no dairy, meat fillings or toppings) Fresh fruit of vegetables (whole) Coffee (black with individual creamers) Lemonade, iced tea, shaved ice, hot chocolate (commercial mixes) Muffins, baked goods (commercial source, no dairy filling) Pancakes, waffles (no whipped cream topping) Popcorn Popsicles, novelty ice creams Pre-packages shelf stable foods (commercial source, sold in package) Page 1 of 13
2 Low Risk Permit Required Foods Please apply for a low risk temporary food service permit if you are serving food from the below list. Burritos (commercially pre-cooked) Chicken burgers (commercially pre-cooked) Chili (commercially pre-cooked) Corn on the cob Cut fresh fruits and vegetables French fries Fruit smoothies (no dairy) Fudge Hamburgers Hot dogs, smokies, bacon (commercially pre-cooked) Meats (commercially pre-cooked) Pizza (commercially pre-cooked) Sandwiches (no meat, egg, dairy or cooked vegetable fillings) Soup (commercially pre-cooked) Wraps raw vegetable filling only Permits Applications for a temporary foodservice permit can be obtained online at interiorhealth.ca > Your Environment> Food Safety & Inspection> Health Approval & Permits Applications for temporary foodservice permits must be submitted at least 14 days prior to the event. Ensure the application is complete and correct to avoid processing delays or rejection. Definitions Clean to remove visible soil, grease or other contamination using warm water, detergent and a clean cloth or brush. Higher Risk Foods foods that are more likely to be contaminated and/or foods that may readily allow microbes to grow (e.g. burgers cooked from raw, sandwiches, salads, burritos, fajitas, soups, chili, sushi, and stir-fry). Potable water water that is safe to drink, and comes from an approved water supply system. Page 2 of 13
3 Sanitize to kill microorganisms (germs) by using a solution containing fresh household bleach at a rate of 1 tablespoon per gallon of water or 15ml per 4 litres of water. An Environmental Health Officer must approve any sanitizers. Planning your Temporary Food Service Keep these requirements in mind during the planning of your food booth. A proper setup with a simple menu and competent staff will go a long way towards creating a smooth running food service. Depending on the types of foods you plan on serving and the complexity of preparation, you may be asked to provide additional equipment or take additional steps to help keep food safe. See Appendix A - Specific Requirements For Type 1 And Type 2 Temporary Foodservices. Physical Structure Canopy or roof and walls protect the booth from rain, wind, and direct sunlight. A design that includes a roof and three walls often works best. Remember to keep a spot for entry/exit. For smaller set-ups, especially those of short duration, a canopy or large umbrella is recommended if a roof and walls are not suitable. Solid floor Where the booth is to be located on grass, dirt or gravel, a solid floor should be provided to prevent generating mud, dust and/or dirt. The surface needs to be easy to clean. Lighting - Where service is planned for evenings, make sure lighting is adequate for all tasks. Ventilation - Enclosed operations must provide adequate ventilation to prevent the accumulation of smoke, grease, condensation and odours. Counters, table tops and equipment surfaces these need to be durable and washable surfaces. Menu Keep it simple and limit the number of potentially hazardous foods. Choose recipes that don t require a lot cooling and reheating, and will not generate leftovers. Make sure all foods come from approved sources and choose foods that meet the trans fats requirements. These are: soft spreadable margarine and oil meets the restriction of 2% trans-fat or less of total fat content and all other food meets the restriction of 5% trans-fat or less of total fat content. Staff Select staff with food safety training and experience. FOODSAFE or equivalent training is required for the operator and one other person when the operator is not on site. Staff cannot be allowed to work if they are suffering from nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Staff with skin infection or open sores should not be allowed to handle food. Train staff to always practice good personal hygiene and follow safe food handling practices. Make sure you will have an adequate supply of clean aprons. Page 3 of 13
4 Food Protection The booth setup must allow for food to be protected from contamination at all times during transportation, storage, preparation and display (e.g. sneeze guards, display case, protective wrapping). Set up the flow of preparation steps to keep raw foods away from ready-to-eat foods to prevent crosscontamination. Self-serve condiments or toppings must be in appropriate dispensers or be in single service packages. Handles of serving utensils must be long enough so they won t fall into the food. Utensils and Food Contact Surfaces Use proper utensils for food handling that are durable and designed for the intended purpose. Supply a metal probe thermometer so you can check temperatures. All food contact surfaces are made of materials that are smooth, non-absorbent and easily cleanable. Customer eating utensils must be disposable. Refrigeration, Cooking and Hot Holding Equipment Size equipment to provide excess capacity and be sure there s enough power supply for electrical equipment. Set up the equipment early to make sure it is working properly. Coolers should not be in direct sunlight. Water Supply Provide a potable water hose and backflow protection so connection to the potable water isn t contaminated. Water will need to be provided on a continuous flow basis, and will need to be under pressure (includes gravity flow). Hot water is needed for washing purposes. Have a means of generating hot water onsite. Sanitation Facilities Provide a hand washing station for food handlers with: A container that allows for the free flow of warm water Liquid soap in a dispenser Paper towels A drain bucket to catch the wastewater Provide separate sinks for utensil washing. You will need to have a minimum of two compartments. One for washing, and one for sanitizing. The sinks should be large enough to immerse the largest utensils in the water. Cleaning in Place procedures must be established for equipment and surfaces that cannot be washed in a sink. Page 4 of 13
5 Waste Disposal Provide containers to collect all wastewater that is generated onsite. Dispose of the wastewater in a sanitary sewer. Use containers that are easy to transport. Have enough garbage containers to use inside the both, as well as for your customers to use. Garbage bins should have a lid to help limit insect activity. Food Safety Plan The food safety plan is a written set of instructions that guides the food handlers in safe preparation of potentially hazardous foods. These instructions identify the critical handling steps of the menu items, identify how hazards are controlled at these critical steps, what method is for monitoring the controls, and what corrective action is needed if the controls are not achieved. Sanitation Plan The sanitation plan is a written set of procedures that outline the cleaning and sanitizing requirements for the food booth and the utensils. It includes a list of cleaners and sanitizers you plan to use, what they will be used for, and how they are mixed to achieve proper concentrations. Having your sanitation plan completed will provide your staff with clear guidance about methods for proper sanitation of the booth and utensils. More information is included in Appendix C. Operating your Food Service There are key principles to keep in mind when operating your food service. Some foods contain food poisoning bacteria when you receive them. Poor handling and sanitation practices can further contaminate food. You have the ability to minimize or eliminate the hazards through proper food handling practices. Protect Food from Contamination To prevent food poisoning, make sure no bacteria, chemicals, foreign objects or other contaminants are added to foods you are preparing. Key practices can help prevent contamination: Keep food preparation area in a clean and sanitary condition at all times. Separate raw foods from ready to eat foods Page 5 of 13
6 Store chemicals away from foods Protect food by using covers or by wrapping Practice good personal hygiene o Wash hands before handling food and after handling soiled objects o Wear clean clothes and apron o Wear a hair net, or other suitable hair covering, tie hair back o Ensure staff do not sneeze or cough on food and don t work when they are sick Change Conditions that allow Bacteria to Grow Food poisoning bacteria need protein, a neutral ph, warm temperatures, moisture, and time for them to grow. If we take away one or more of these factors, we can limit or prevent bacterial from growing to dangerous numbers. Limiting growth is important since the chance of illness increases as the number of bacteria increases. Fewer bacteria mean less chance of illness. Most food poisonings are caused by improper temperature control. Check temperatures routinely. Keep foods out of the Danger Zone. Keep foods out of the temperature danger zone as much as possible. Limit the amount of time food remain in the danger zone during preparation. The general rule: don t let the food stay in the Danger Zone for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour outdoors in the summer) Make sure you have an accurate prove thermometer and food temperatures are regularly checked at key times (cold storage, cooking, hot holding, cooling and/or reheating). Outline these checks in your food safety plan. Keep records of temperature monitoring. Eliminate Remaining Bacteria Preventing contamination and changing conditions for food poisoning bacteria growth are only part of the battle. Unfortunately, some foods already have enough bacteria to cause illness, even before you receive them. Use a safety step to kill harmful numbers of bacteria. The cooking step helps you do this and for utensils, a thorough cleaning process. Remember: Cook all potentially hazardous foods to the correct temperature. For most, this is an internal temperature of 74 o C. Use a probe thermometer to check the middle part of the food you are cooking. Reheat leftovers rapidly to 74 o C. Clean utensils as follows: Wash in hot soapy water Rinse in clear hot water Sanitize in water with a small amount of sanitizer Page 6 of 13

8 Appendix A Specific Requirements for Type 1 and Type 2 Temporary Foodservices Types of Food Service Water Type 1 Temporary Foodservice for Lower Risk Foods Operations in which only minimal preparation is needed to make the food ready to eat. Examples include, but are not limited to, hot dogs, smokies, french fries, pancakes, commercially precooked chicken, beef and veggie burgers and other foods that are deemed by an EHO to present a lower level of risk to the consumer. Potable water must be supplied on a continuous flow basis. Water under pressure, including gravity flow, is required. Type 2 Temporary Foodservice for Higher Risk Foods All other types including those with higher risk foods or more complex handling processes needed to make the food ready to eat. Examples of food products offered at Type 2 operations include: burgers cooked from raw, other menu items made from scratch such as sandwiches, salads, burritos, fajitas, soups, chili, sushi, and stir-fry. Pressurized hot (min. 43 C) and cold potable water must be supplied on a continuous flow basis. NOTE: For self-contained water refer to Retail Food Services Code; Sec (j). bac.gc.ca/003/008/099/ disclaimer.html?orig=/100/206/301/cfia- acia/ /cfis.agr.ca/english/regcode/frfsrcamendmts/codeang-2004.pdf Ware Washing Two sinks, with drain board for ware washing, rinsing and sanitizing, on site, may be required subject to operational requirements. Communal ware washing sinks may be acceptable if close. Sinks must be large enough to immerse the largest piece of equipment or utensils. A two-compartment, non-corrosive sink with hot and cold running water under pressure must be supplied. To facilitate washing and sanitizing, each compartment must be large enough to immerse the largest piece of equipment or utensils. Refrigeration Mechanical refrigeration is preferred. Ice may be used to supplement mechanical refrigeration. Whatever is used, food temperature must be maintained below 4 C. Mechanical refrigeration of adequate capacity for the storage of potentially hazardous foods shall be provided. Food temperature must be maintained below 4 C. Frozen foods need to remain frozen solid. Page 8 of 13
9 Appendix B Food Safety Plan and Example A food safety plan is required for all food service establishments. For each potentially hazardous food item, the following components must be identified: 1. All Critical Control Points. A Critical Control Point is a step in the preparation process where a food safety hazard can be controlled. The remaining steps in the preparation process will not eliminate the hazard if it is not controlled at this point. Some items will have more than one Critical Control Point. Examples include: Receiving Cooking Transportation Hot Holding Storage Cooling Preparation Reheating 2. Critical Limits for those critical control points. A Critical Limit is a standard or limit that must be met to control the food safety hazard at a Critical Control Point. Critical Limits can be measured. Examples include: cold storage temperature of 4 C or less final cook temperature of 74 C for 15 seconds hot holding temperature of 60 C or more cooling food from 60ºC to 20 C in 2 hours and 20 C to 4 C in 4 hours 3. The procedures to be followed to ensure the critical limits are met. For example, measuring the temperature with an accurate thermometer. 4. The corrective actions to be taken in the event that the critical limits are not met. Some examples include: cooking the product longer reheating the product discarding the product The BCCDC booklet, Ensuring Food Safety: Writing Your Own Food Safety Plan The HACCP Way provides more information and some examples of food safety plans EnsuringFoodSafetyHACCPWay.pdf As an example, here is a flow chart for a HAMBURGER. Step Food Safety Hazards Critical Step Critical Limits Monitoring Corrective Action Receiving Transportation to event Contamination; Growth of harmful bacteria Growth of harmful bacteria (Y/N) No No Potentially hazardous foods must be below 4 C Potentially hazardous foods must be below 4 C Check temperature; Visual inspection. Check temperature upon arrival Reject load if above 4 C, or if contamination is seen. Lower the cooler temperature setting. Page 9 of 13
10 Refrigeration Growth of harmful bacteria No Maintain below 4 C Preparing Contamination No Use of clean utensils Cooking Holding Assembling and Serving Harmful bacteria survival Growth of harmful bacteria Yes Heat to 74 C or hotter and hold for at least 15 seconds Yes Minimum temperature of 60 C Contamination Yes Use of clean utensils and clean hands/gloves Check food and air temperature every 4 hours. Ensure all utensils are clean and sanitized before use. Check burger patty Temperature (sanitized thermometer) before serving/ holding. Check patty temperature in hot hold unit every 2 hours (sanitized thermometer). Ensure all utensils and hands/gloves are clean before use. Lower the cooler temperature setting. Rewash if any utensils are not clean. Continue heating until 74 C or hotter for 15 seconds. Reheat to 74 C if patty is less than 60 C for 2 hours or less. If more than 2 hours, discard. If utensils, hands/gloves are not clean, discard contaminated product. Wash utensils, and/or hands. Use clean gloves. Page 10 of 13
11 FOOD SAFETY PLAN TEMPLATE To assist in the development of your plan, consider using the template on the following page. If more than one potentially hazardous food item is being offered, multiple pages may be required. This is an example format to outline your plan. Another format may be used, but will need to identify the components described above: This Plan applies to the following potentially hazardous food items: Step Food Safety Hazards Critical Step (Y/N) Critical Limits Monitoring Corrective Action Page 11 of 13
12 Appendix C Sanitation Plan A sanitation plan is required for all food service establishments. These plans can vary in complexity and can written using in a variety of different formats. Ultimately a sanitation plan must have 3 components: Part 1: Include the cleaning and sanitizing requirements for the temporary food booth and for all equipment and utensils being used; for the majority of these it will involve: washing in hot (43 C) soapy water rinsing in clear hot water sanitizing in water with bleach (or another approved sanitizer) air drying Consider the components of the temporary food booth and how you will maintain them in a sanitary condition surfaces like countertops, floors, and other surfaces that may be subject to spills or accumulation of dirt, Part 2: List the cleaning and sanitizing agents being used at the temporary food booth, including their concentrations and their uses; sanitizing agents need to be used at appropriate concentrations you want enough of the sanitizer in the water to do the job, but not so much that it may be toxic. The following table may be of assistance in determining the appropriate concentrations to use: Type of Washing Manual Method Clean-in-Place Chlorine Bleach Quaternary Ammonia Iodine parts per million (14ml 28ml / 4.5L or ) 200 parts per million (28ml / 4.5L) 200 parts per million or as per manufacturer s directions 200 parts per million or as per manufacturer s directions *Test paper may be used to check the proper concentration. * Make sure bleach solutions are fresh as chlorine strength can weaken quickly. 25 parts per million or as per manufacturer s directions 25 parts per million or as per manufacturer s directions Page 12 of 13
13 Part 3: List any other chemicals that will be kept at the temporary food booth (if applicable). Sanitation Plan: Item to be Cleaned/Sanitized Cleaning/Sanitation Frequency Part 1: List surfaces, equipment, and utensils that will require sanitation Cleaner/Sanitizer Concentration Part 2: List cleaners and sanitizers Name of Chemical Part 3: List any other chemicals that will be kept onsite (if applicable) Page 13 of 13
