A NOTE ON SAMPLING IN CA

The Placer County Environmental Health Department wants to ensure that anyone handling food is using best practices.

The basic requirements include:

• Provide overhead protection
• Provide signage with vendor name, city/state/zip
• Provide a hand wash station
• Store all food 6+ inches off the floor
• Store samples in clean, covered containers
• Distribute samples in a sanitary manner (pre-portioned, toothpicks, sample cups, shaker bottles, etc)
• Food and samples should be kept in closed containers, more than 3 feet from the front of the booth, or under a sneeze guard / protective covering (cake dome or similar).

Note: ANY cutting, removing samples from packages, or otherwise exposing and handling food MUST take place in a space completely enclosed either in solid walls OR mesh walls.  Either this can be a separate space in the back of your booth OR you can secure a mesh wall with service windows to the front of your booth and utilize your entire space.

ALCOHOL PARTNERS 

Breweries and wineries serving their own product (beer or wine) are exempt from permitting. All other alcohol vendors must obtain a Temporary Food Vendor Authorization and pay the permit application fee.

WILDLIFE ADVISORY

Squaw Valley is home to lots of wildlife from raccoons and squirrels to bears and mountain lions.  To ensure the safety of your staff, our attendees, and all wildlife please be sure to follow these guidelines:

• Remove all food from your tent overnight and store it in an area that can be fully secured
• Any food that must be kept within your space should remain in a bear proof container
• All trash should be removed from the space overnight (a member of the Wanderlust Greening team will be able to assist with this)

SELLER’S PERMIT

All sponsors who are selling in California will need to obtain a California seller’s permit from the Board of Equalization by Tuesday, June 18, 2019.

If you are out of state or don’t already have a permit, you can find the application by going to this website and selecting “REGISTER A BUSINESS ACTIVITY WITH CDTFA”.

There is no cost to apply, but you will need to submit your sales and pay the appropriate sales tax at the conclusion of the event. If you are exempt from paying sales tax, you must complete this form.  

Any out-of-state retailer coming into California must obtain a Seller’s permit. Permits or licenses from other states do not qualify.

For more information on Temporary Seller’s Permits please reference this website.
