Frequently Asked Questions

How do caterers ensure water safety at events?

Verify that the venue water supply is potable and from an approved source. Use only commercially produced ice from approved suppliers. Set up dedicated handwashing stations with hot and cold running water, soap, and paper towels for all food handling staff. Test water quality at unfamiliar or outdoor venues before committing.

What are the rules for handling ice at catering events?

Ice should be transported and stored in clean, food-grade containers with tight-fitting lids. Use dedicated ice scoops, never bare hands or glass cups. Store ice away from raw foods and chemicals. Ice used for display cooling should never be repurposed for beverage service. Discard any ice that contacts non-food surfaces.

Do outdoor catering events need portable handwashing stations?

Yes, if the venue does not have adequate permanent handwashing facilities accessible to food handling staff. Portable stations must provide warm running water, soap, single-use towels, and a waste water collection tank. Hand sanitizer alone does not substitute for proper handwashing facilities.
