Many customers tell us that they stop at booths who engage them as they walk by. Page 6 QUESTIONS OR INQUIRIES?

Toothpicks must be inserted into each sample whenever possible, and/or made available to guests. - Portion cup style containers or plates must be used for items such as nuts, taco chips, popcorn, unwrapped candies, etc. All dips and sauces must be placed in single service containers ONLY (no communal containers are permitted). - Proper hot holding units must be used in displays that are storing cooked perishable foods. These units must be capable of maintaining a temperature of 140°F or 60°C. These units are only for holding the food at specified temperatures – not for cooking. The food must be a minimum of 140°F or 60°C when placed in these units. - Each vendor/broker display will be responsible to supply staff at their display with Isopropyl Gel. The gel and paper hand towels must be used for regular hand cleaning during the show. - The use of disposable sanitary gloves is encouraged at all displays that are showing food products.
