Farmers' Markets
Food Safety Guidelines
Market operation requirements
Farmers’ markets should make reasonable
efforts to ensure that all vendors selling
products requiring licenses have obtained them and
are maintaining those licenses. Each market
manager — or other responsible person designated
by the organization operating the market —
should maintain a copy of vendor licenses or a
record of the number of the license. Licenses are
listed on the ODA website and can be accessed
using license numbers and/or other data routinely
furnished by vendors.
Market managers and other responsible persons
are not expected to be food safety experts, but
they can help educate vendors about topics related
to food safety and encourage vendors to
communicate with the appropriate licensing
authorities.
