Food Sales

Recognized student clubs may conduct food sales on campus as an approved fundraising activity. Before conducting a food sale, clubs should ensure the activity has been approved through the appropriate event and fundraising approval process and all food items meet applicable health and safety requirements.  

Approved Food & Beverage Items

Clubs may sell:

• Non-potentially hazardous, ready-to-eat foods produced in a licensed food establishment or food processing plant (e.g., premixed soda, powdered creamer, pretzels, cookies, doughnuts, cakes) served without direct hand contact, with limited portioning, directly onto or into sanitary single-use articles, or single service articles, from the original package.
• Non-potentially hazardous hot beverages (e.g., coffee, tea, apple cider) served directly into sanitary single-service articles.
• Pre-packaged frozen confections produced in a licensed food establishment or food processing plant.
• Foods that are non-potentially hazardous baked goods are prepared in a residential kitchen in a private home or other location and wrapped in a sanitary manner for sale or service.
• Commercially made caramel apples.
• Cotton candy.
• Machine-crushed ice drinks with non-potentially hazardous ingredients (e.g., slurpees, icees, slushies).
• Popcorn and flavored popcorn with butter and/or shake-on toppings.

Homemade Baked Goods

Homemade baked goods are defined as any item prepared in a residential kitchen in a private home. Homemade baked goods may be sold if they:

• Are individually wrapped and remain visible through clear packaging.
• Are clearly labeled listing all ingredients.

In addition, a clearly visible notice must be displayed throughout the fundraiser stating that the food was prepared in a kitchen that is not inspected by the Idaho Department of Health and individuals can purchase/consume at their own risk.
