Food Safety in Canteens and Other Food Services

Setting up a permanent canteen or temporary food premise

Permanent canteens need to be built and designed so that food can be prepared safely and efficiently.

Temporary food premises such as food stalls for a fete, barbecues or sausage sizzles must be constructed and have appropriate facilities to ensure food safety, such as refrigeration, rubbish bins and hand and utensil washing facilities.

Contact the local council’s environmental health officer for further information on requirements specific to your situation.
