Christa Hofmann, Jennifer Dennis, Scott A Gilliam, and Shirley Vargas ( March, 2007 )

Summary

Farmers’ markets have been around for a long time. However, today’s farmers’ markets are more complex than ever. In the past, whole fruits and vegetables were the primary items sold; now, food is processed, cut open to be displayed, and given as samples to entice purchases. With the increased complexity of the product offerings at farmers’ markets, health departments have become more involved in ensuring food safety. This publication offers information to market masters and vendors on keeping consumers safe by examining food safety regulations.
