These rules are set by your city, county, district, or state. Each community may have the same or slightly different food safety rules and requirements for food vendors. All food safety rules have similar requirements about<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Safe source:<\/strong> Food or food ingredients come from a safe source.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Safe temperature:<\/strong> Food is held at the correct cold or hot holding temperatures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Proper cooking:<\/strong> Food is cooked properly, especially foods such as meat, poultry, and pork.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Proper handling:<\/strong> Food is handled to prevent cross-contamination from the environment (for example, common work areas or common utensils).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Proper hand washing:<\/strong> Food handlers know how to prevent contamination, especially food handlers who may be sick with vomiting or diarrhea.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Food Establishment Inspections<\/h3>\n<p>One of the ways food safety rules protect the public\u2019s health is through food vendor inspections.
