Guidelines for Temporary Food Establishments (updated September 2022)

The Guidelines for Temporary Food Establishments apply to temporary food establishments (TFEs) permitted by the UW Environmental Health & Safety Department (EH&S) to operate on University owned or leased property. TFEs serve, sell, or give away food at an event advertised to or attended by the UW community or general public. EH&S Environmental Public Health Program staff inspect TFEs for compliance with Washington state food code requirements. The guidelines in this document address code requirements and best practices for food safety.
