MaskCraft Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I am wondering if there are any general rules by which we need to abide by when it comes to serving food in our tasting rooms? It is apparent, as we have seen it a lot, that we are welcome to offer complimentary snacks - pretzels, nuts, etc. Can you sell food packaged food items (we are from a big craft community with craft nuts, chips, etc and wondering if we could sell locally made packaged snacks)? Can you prepare snacks at home and offer them to guests complimentary - spiced nuts, snack mixes? Could we prepare dishes such as veggies, hummus, cheese plate and sell for a small cost? Thank you for any information on rules, guidelines and any creative ideas.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natrat Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 MaskCraft, the TTB's business is not to regulate what you do at your distillery...just to properly collect all the taxes, under their tax structure. Even the labeling isn't specifically about the consumer, but ultimately, about taxation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendodistilling Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 In california there is something called servsafe. Its required for anyone handling food, so it should be helpful. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CEsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.servsafe.com%2F&ei=DYp-U_uTO4fvoAT7tIKwCA&usg=AFQjCNEmwjHUORxSdzX7G2ft9DM6a97Kuw&sig2=NERrFnElGeYS_Efg7bZZEA&bvm=bv.67720277,d.cGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
