FOOD SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS
In an effort to increase sales of a food product or a piece of cooking equipment, samples of a food are sometimes given to the

food, drink, confection or condiment for human.
1. A temporary food facility permit from the City of Long Beach is required when selling or giving away food to the public,
and/or when food samples are being given to the public. Permit must be displayed at booth for review during inspection.

packaged, or available only from dispensing devices, or handed out individually by a booth employee to each customer. If

contamination of supply of toothpicks by customers.
Examples of dispensing devices include squeeze bottles and shaker bottles.
