Barbecues for good causes still on at Kapiti markets
Barbecue Sauseges and Cake stalls can still be held at Kapiti Coast markets for charitable or community groups.
There are however high risk foods which cannot be sold which include include meats, chicken and pates.
“Concerns that traditional Kiwi cake and jam stalls and sausage sizzles for good causes will become a thing of the past are unfounded,” Kāpiti Coast District Council’s Regulatory Manager Ken Smith said.
The policy adopted by the Committee will allow people to prepare foods for sale at markets in their home kitchens. The food must be of a low risk variety such as cakes and biscuits, jams and preserves, breads, honey, olive oil and vinegar and candies and confectionery. The kitchens must be inspected by Environmental Health inspectors. Operators must have undertaken an approved food hygiene course.
These Approved Operators will be able to sell products at participating markets within the Kapiti Coast District
