What are the rules for producing food for public sale?

Answer by  Roland27 (16334)

If you plan to make a business out of it or if it's for something such as a County Fair you're going to need to get a Food Vendor's license. If it's just for a school bake sale you don't need to get one. The biggest thing you need to know is you need to make sure everything is sanitary.
