Food Safety Tips

Having food as part of a larger event or as an event itself can provide a tremendous amount of enjoyment and fun. However, for the organizers of such an event, there is also a tremendous responsibility to ensure the food supply is safe and that all applicable health codes are followed. Foodborne illness continues to be a significant problem, with the latest estimate of 76 million cases each year in the United States alone. For this reason the foodservice industry is highly regulated by federal, state, and local governments. The links below will provide information to help you enjoy your event while adhering to University and regulatory requirements.

To begin, please review the information on the Food Event Requirements link below.
