This document discusses considerations for local food processing at farmers' markets from a public health perspective. Each public health unit in Ontario is mandated to inspect food premises to prevent health hazards. Regulation 562 defines food premises standards, but exempts farmers' market vendors. Public health inspectors can still inspect markets to identify hazards. Inspections focus on five areas: food sources, storage, temperature control, food handling, and cooking. The goal is to identify any practices that could lead to health issues. Proper training is encouraged to ensure food safety.
