6. FOOD VENDORS  -  Chilling, heating or cooking food

All food vendors who heat or cook food are required to have a fire extinguisher.  The fire extinguisher must be legal, in working order, and within 6 feet of the cooking area. 

Food held in coolers for retail sales needing refrigeration must hold the food at 41 degrees Fahrenheit or below, however, each food is unique, and some need colder temperatures than others, but each food needing to be held chilled should be held chilled using ice or gel packs.  

Thermometers are also highly recommended for all food vendors who have food needing to be chilled.  The Coconut Grove Farmers Market can be inspected by the Florida Department of Agriculture (FDA) at any time.  At which time, an inspector can ask a vendor what the temperature of their food is and having a thermometer means you are responsibly monitoring your temperatures.

Any vendor not complying with Food Safety Regulations may be asked by the FDA inspector, or Farmers Market Management, to quickly and immediately rectify any food safety related issue, or to leave.  Any vendor authorized to return by Farmers Market Management, and is in good standing, can return if able to comply with State and Federal regulations.  Food Safety Regulations are for the safety of the public, who must be able to trust your food.

All food vendors should follow the Cottage law regulations, please follow the link and read it carefully: https://ccmedia.fdacs.gov/content/download/70108/file/CottageFoodOperations.pdf7.
