Food Safety
Permitting Process
If you are having an on campus event which will be serving food, you may not be required to complete a permit application or food safety training, so long as your event can follow the guidlines provided. You should contact Conference and Events Services (CES) at CES@humboldt.edu prior to planning your event to work out the details. If your event requires a permit, you will need to work directly with EH&S and allow 5 business days for EH&S review and approval of your event. You will need to take food safety training and apply for a permit for any level of food preparation on campus or if food is distributed to the public (not a closed event). If your event will not be run through CES or you have questions, email the food safety officer Sabrina.Zink@humboldt.edu.
Training
To ensure health and wellbeing to our personnel and community members we require all food handlers, who wish to prepare food or to distribute food products(commercially prepared, non-temp controlled foods are exempt) to the public to participate in the appropriate level training. Humboldt personnel are required to take the Canvas Course linked below. External groups or personnel (i.e. non-Humboldt groups or vendors) are required to have completed a nationally recognized training, ServSafe is appropriate and linked below.
