The above referenced F.A.C. addresses food supplies, food protection, and physical facilities-except as specifically provided in this rule, public food service establishments shall be subject to the provisions of chapter three and chapter six of the FDA Food Code. They are requesting to do open air food service on a Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle.

    This variance request was approved May 25, 2007, and is contingent upon the Petitioner’s use of open-air steam table properly covered and air curtain operating properly according to manufacturer’s specifications and Section 6-202-15(D)(2), 2001 FDA Food Code, as to expel possible contaminants and vermin. Approval is also contingent upon Petitioner conducting all re-heating for hot holding at approved commissaries to the proper temperature per Section 3-403.11, 2001 FDA Food Code; and potentially hazardous food is held at proper temperatures according to Section 3-501.16, 2001 FDA Food Code.

    The Petitioner shall strictly adhere to subsection 61C-4.0161(c), Florida Administrative Code, and report to the commissary at least once daily when operating. All warewashing is to be conducted at the commissary and strict adherence to employee health guidelines as specified in the Section 2-201, 2001 FDA Food Code, are to be followed. Petitioner shall also use a potable water tank and utilize a wastewater holding tank that is at least 15% larger than the potable water holding tank; and sloped to a drain that is 1 inch in inner diameter or greater, equipped with a shut-off valve. Petitioner must receive potable water from an approved source with written documentation provided and sanitize the fresh water and wastewater tanks at least once every 24 hours.
