CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS
These are the requirements for temporary food service in Austin and Travis County based on the
Texas Food Establishment Rules and have been adopted by the City of Austin and Travis County.
These are the requirements for Austin Independent School District Temporary Food Service Public Events.
**Violation of a critical requirement shall result in an immediate closure, condemnation of
food products and/or legal charges. All Health Closures are in instantaneous effect until the
critical items are corrected and verified by an authorized representative of this Department.
If serving an Highly Susceptible Population (children 0 - 9 years old), then ABSOLUTELY NO RAW OR PARTIALLY-COOKED
MEATS (including EGGS), NO UNPASTEURIZED JUICES, AND NO RAW MILK OR RAW MILK PRODUCTS
1. Keep potentially hazardous foods colder than 41°F or hotter than 135°F at all times. Heat hot food to 165°F and
maintain at >135°F. Any portion of a potentially hazardous food held between 41°F and 135°F is in the DANGER ZONE.
2. Provide IMMEDIATE access to hand washing for food handlers, including: hand soap, paper towels, container of water
with a “free-flowing” spigot and a wastewater catch bucket. ONLY after washing hands may gloves, tongs, or a hand-sanitizer
be used to handle ready to eat foods. A catch bucket must collect the wastewater for proper disposal.
3. Provide WASH, RINSE, SANITIZE setup for ware-washing. The first basin is for washing and has soap and water only.
The middle basin is for rinsing and has only clean water. The third basin is for soaking utensils in a sanitizing solution of 50-
100ppm chlorine as tested by chlorine test strips. Remember the proper sequence: WASH, RINSE & SANITIZE!
4. Use “active” temperature control equipment. Holding hot food in an insulated container with NO active source of heat is
NOT allowed. Sterno is not permitted for outdoor events, unless properly hooded to prevent wind effects. Active refrigeration
will be required for multiple day events. Drained ice may be used for short term holding of cold food.
5. Monitor food temperatures with a chef-style metal stem-type thermometer. Thermometers should have a range of 0°F-
220°F. Thermometers should be cleaned and sanitized between uses.
6. Use only cutting boards, utensils, equipment, food preparation and serving surfaces that are smooth, durable, easily
cleanable, and non-absorbent. Wash food contact surfaces every 4 hours (or immediately when contaminated).
7. Separate raw and ready to eat foods. Don't cross-contaminate. Use different sets of utensils and prep surfaces.
8. Test sanitizer with chlorine test paper. Bleach = 50-100 ppm. Test papers can be found at restaurant supply stores.
9. Use spray bottles of sanitizing solution and paper towels to frequently wipe counters and to spot clean equipment.
10. Store EDIBLE ice for drinks or consumption in the original bag inside an ice chest during service. Ice bags shall be
punctured underneath to allow drainage and open on the top to allow dispensing using a scoop with handles. Consumers
shall not dispense their own ice for drinks. Ice used to keep food cold cannot be used for consumption or drinks.
11. Protect all foods, utensils and paper goods from exposure to dirt, animals, and insects. Best practice is to cover or
wrap all items. Store foods 6 inches or more above the ground. Avoid handling the inside of cups, lids, or food containers.
12. Provide only disposable or single-use utensils, plates, cups, knives, forks, spoons, etc. to consumers. Unless using
an on-site commercial-grade dishwasher with running hot & cold water, sanitization cycle & that drains into a sanitary sewer.
13. Provide only condiments that are individually packaged or dispensed from an approved covered container. Spoon-
in-jar setups are not allowed due to the likelihood of cross contamination between plates.
AISD & ATCHHSD Revised 9/14/17 NO HOME-PREPARED FOODS ALLOWED

14. Collect drainage water from ice bins, ice chests, beverage dispensers, hand & utensil washing for disposal. Ensure all
wastewater enters a sanitary sewer. Drainage on the ground may become a source of pollution & contamination.
15. Provide covered garbage containers with plastic liners. Covers help to prevent insect transmission of pathogens.
16. Provide floor covering that will eliminate dust and be easily cleaned. Flooring must be in cooking, serving, food
preparation, and washing areas. Approved examples include concrete, asphalt, plywood, linoleum, clean cardboard, etc.
17. Provide overhead covering above food preparation, serving, and washing areas to protect from hazards (like birds).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
What is a temporary food event? Any public gathering where food is offered for consumption for no more than 14
days. An example of a public gathering means that it has any one of these scenarios: 1) walkup participation, 2) any
advertisement (including social media) OR 3) tickets are sold.
Do I need to get a permit? It depends: Yes a permit must be obtained if you meet the definition of a temporary event
above and offer either open or potentially hazardous foods. No permit is needed if using: 1) only the school cafeteria &
staff, or 2) a Mobile Vendor (with a valid Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department permit) that
serves all food directly from their vehicle or 3) only serving sealed commercially-prepackaged non-potentially hazardous
foods (like wrapped candy, sealed microwave popcorn, individual bags of chips, or bottled drinks).
How do I get a permit? Complete this AISD-sponsored Temporary Food Event Permit Application and follow the
instructions. Contact your campus Food Services Manager to plan food and sanitation as far in advance as possible.
What needs to be planned beforehand with the AISD Food Services Manager? Plans for Event must include a
method for compliance with food safety laws including 1) access to toilet facilities for everyone, 2) a separate (non-
restroom) water supply for handwashing station refills, 3) trash services, wastewater & grease disposal facilities and
method to collect dirty water from booths to the sanitary sewer, 4) electrical supply to booths for temperature equipment,
5) identification of potentially hazardous foods served at event to be listed on page 3 under corresponding booth name.
What is a Booth (Vendor)? Also thought of as a temporary kitchen or serving area. Traditionally, a 10'x10' tent with
floor covering or other ground dust control. Almost every booth will require a temporary hand wash setup.
Who is the Event Organizer and what's their job? The individual in charge of the whole event, typically a voluntary
contact person for a school-related organization. Responsible for 1) making sure that all the food vendors at the event
are invited and permitted, 2) this application submission, 3) distributing this information to all vendors and collecting the
completed “Responsibility page” (page 4) from each separate booth vendor, which must be included with the completed
application and 4) for providing & ensuring posting of the permit at each required booth at the event.
Who is the Food Booth Operator? The individual in charge of the food, typically restaurant staff or voluntary food
servers with a school-related organization. Responsible for 1) following the Texas Food Establishment Rules, 2) the
booth setup, 3) providing a safe and consumable product that has been properly handled.
How do I know if it is a Permitted Facility (page 4)? Contact the facility or ATCHHSD to verify current status. Many
recently permitted facilities are listed at: http://www.austintexas.gov/department/restaurant-inspection-scores
HINTS:
Serve only foods requiring minimum preparation such as seasoning or cooking. All cutting, slicing, or
chopping should be done in a permitted facility beforehand (note: NEVER AT HOME!)
AISD & ATCHHSD Revised 9/14/17 NO HOME-PREPARED FOODS ALLOWED

Pre-portion food into small leak-proof containers. Then immerse these containers/bags in ice to keep food
cold for short term. If the food bag leaks, then the food may become contaminated by the ice water. If the food
is too well protected, then it may not get cold enough to avoid the DANGER ZONE.
Sanitizer for Warewashing: suggested recipe = 1 1/2 teaspoons bleach per gallon of clean water
Don't skip the soap. Hand sanitizer alone doesn't stop Norovirus.
Dispose of everything properly. Don't contaminate our groundwater or “feed the wildlife”!
