Vending machines: bulk food.
Summary
The California Retail Food Code establishes uniform health and sanitation standards for, and provides for regulation by the State Department of Public Health of, retail food facilities and various types of food. The code establishes requirements for vending machines, including prohibiting those machines from dispensing bulk potentially hazardous food. Existing law authorizes the department to issue a variance to allow the use of an alternative practice or procedure for specified purposes, including for cooking and reheating temperatures for potentially hazardous food. A violation of these provisions is a crime. This bill would authorize the department to issue a variance for dispensing bulk potentially hazardous food from vending machines, as specified.
