<p class="MsoNormal">Are there any other libraries that own a popcorn popper for programs?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My library is interested in purchasing a popcorn machine so we can pop and serve fresh popcorn at some of our community programs. Before we made the purchase, we wanted to find out if there were any food safety health code regulations we
need to be aware of.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a special license or permit we’d need to obtain? If so, what is the cost/process? What would be within regulation to pop and serve popcorn? Only library staff would be handling the machine, making, serving the popcorn, and cleaning
after use.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance for your help!<o:p></o:p></p>
