Friday Night Street Eats 2023 - events

Council invites food stalls big and small to participate in the Friday Night Street Eats events for 2023!

Under the Food Act 2014, some food businesses and community groups are not required to operate under a Food Control Plan. These are usually low-risk businesses or sell food for charity. Below are some examples of when you are already exempt:

• Small scale catering – you are a very small-scale caterer working from home, and only sell your food occasionally to be eaten straight away. For example, you sell your food less than 20 times a year
• Fundraising – you are fundraising, and you sell food less than 20 times a year. This includes things like sausage sizzles and charity bake sales. You don’t need to be raising money for a registered charity, but it must be for a specific cause.
• One off event – you only sell food for personal profit once a year

Exempt businesses are still required to make food that is safe and suitable. For more information check out: www.mpi.govt.nz/foodact

Dates for the next Friday Night Street Eats will be..

• Friday 6 January 2023
• Friday 3 February 2023
• Friday 3 March 2023
• Thursday 6 April 2023 (Easter Bunny Street Eats)
