Sophia Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I'm wondering if anyone is a seller of home made food at any markets in Auckland, and if they can tell me how to do so? I've read over the council website and find it rather confusing. This morning I spoke to a seller at Glen Innes and she said she had to pass 1 exam and that was it. I was of the impression that if you make food at home to sell at a market your kitchen has to be a registered and approved purpose-built set up, or you pretty much have to rent a registered and approved commercial kitchen. What about those people who cook and sell from the stall itself? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I have often wondered about this so am really interested in what you find out Sophia. I was wandering through Otara markets yesterday and the thought about hygiene and licences came up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 It used to be that all food for sale had to be prepared in a registered food premises. There have been many changes since the good ol days so who knows what is allowed today. I have been out of it for a while and prior to that it was decided where I worked that all health work would be put out to private contractors so your guess is as good as mine. Ring your Local Authority and you will get the answers you need rather than having all the goods in your stall seized under the food act.

alanmin4304 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 The food hygiene regulations and the registration of premises regulations were pretty prescriptive. Now it is about risk and risk abatement. They would be more concerned about your selling cracked duck eggs than pickled gherkins (I would hope) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxxnz Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I'm wondering if anyone is a seller of home made food at any markets in Auckland, and if they can tell me how to do so? basically those guy you see operating in a food caravan would have got 2 register licence, 1 is a food n hygiene handling licence, and the other is annual food registering licence..(same as retail) the guy who operated just on a BBQ gill or open table type dont really have to register for a annual food licence..they meant to be tempoary stall selling.. by right all stall holder should have a person on site who held a food n hygiene licence.. what are you trying to sell? selling at the market? try poly fest, night market etc..foods is a real bitch slave trade!! my advise" do the buying.. not the selling!! gdluck!

Sophia Posted December 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I hadn't decided what to sell yet, I wanted to find out if the cost of selling was going to be prohibitive. I know that the stall fees for the Night Markets are pretty expensive, I'd be selling till midnight just to make back the stall fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 We have sold stuff in the craft markets and they were a disaster profit wise. People expect stuff really cheap so it can be a lot of work for very little. I would think that selling food would be pretty much the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
