Section 3  - (PERTAINS ONLY TO THOSE WHO WILL BE SELLING FOOD)

VENDING REQUIREMENTS

Illinois Department of Public Health will be enforcing these rules.

If you are not able to comply, we recommend that you not vend.

Section 750.1690         Walls and Ceilings of Food Preparation Areas

a)         Ceilings shall be made of wood, canvas, or other material that protects the interior of the establishment from the weather.  Walls and ceilings of food preparation areas shall be constructed in a way that prevents the entrance of insects.  Doors to food preparation areas shall be solid or screened and shall be self-closing.  Screening material used for the walls, doors, or windows shall be at least 16 mesh to the inch.

b)         Counter-service openings shall not be larger than necessary for the particular operation conducted.  These openings shall be provided with tight-fitting solid or screened doors or windows or shall be provided with fans installed and operated to restrict the entrance of flying insects.  Counter-service openings shall be kept closed, except when in actual use.

REASON:  Food served from temporary food service establishments is subject to the same potential for contamination as that served in fixed food service establishments as well as the additional potential for contamination resulting from specific conditions associated with temporary establishments.  While recognizing the limited capability of most temporary operations, it is necessary for the protection of the public health to regulate closely the construction and operational methods of such establishments.  Due to this limited food protection capability, most temporary food service establishments must be restricted to the service of prepackaged and pre-prepared foods, or allowed only limited food preparation functions.  The degree of such restrictions must be in direct relation to the capacity for food protection demonstrated by the construction of a temporary establishment and its equipment.
