Under Calcode 113789.(c) "Food Facility" does not include any of the following
5) Premises set aside for Wine Tasting as long as no food is served except for crackers. I suggest to Elizabeth Huff from the County Environmental Health Division , that since no coffeee and donuts are allowed , maybe it would be better to set up a wine tasting location at B and B Do it Center.
Now let's study Calcode
113739 "Beverage" liquid including water
113781 "Food" beverage
113789 "Food Facility" (1) an operation where food is consumed on or off premises,regardless of whether there is a charge for the food.
Therefore any operation that has water to drink by Calcode definition is considered a Food Facility requiring permits , food prep area, stainless sinks etc.
I do not believe that that was the intent of Calcode and I believe this Code needs to be further evaluated . The code is too broad as can be seen by this example.
I will contact Elizabeth Huff on Monday for her interpretation and take on this Code.
