WORKSHOP FLYER

Yolo County Environmental Health will host a free in-person Temporary Food Vendor Workshop on Tuesday, September 16 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at 292 West Beamer Street in Woodland. This educational event is geared towards food vendors who want to participate in approved community events such as city festivals, fairs or farmer’s markets.

This workshop will cover essential information to help vendors navigate local food safety requirements and succeed during inspections. Topics will include proper set-up requirements, how to apply online through Yolo County’s new application process, and tips to ensure a successful inspection. The City of Woodland Fire Department will also review their fire safety requirements for food booths during the workshop. Registration is not required, and the event is free and open to members of the public.

“Our aim in hosting this workshop is to inform vendors about important food safety regulations and support them through the permitting process,” said Michelle Bilodeau, Environmental Health Program Coordinator for Yolo County. “Yolo County Environmental Health is dedicated to offering education and guidance to food operators, helping ensure that consumers enjoy safe dining experiences.”
