Food Service Establishments

 


A FOOD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT (FSE) is a place where food is prepared and intended for individual portion service and includes the site at which the individual portions are provided, whether consumption occurs on or off premises.  

A CATERER is a person who prepares, furnishes, or prepares and furnishes food intended for individual portion service at the premises of the consumer, whether such premises are temporary or permanent.  A CATERER is considered a FOOD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT operator and is required to operate in conformance with the code.
