Bake Sale Policy
State of WV Department of Health and Human Resources
(from Environmental Health Procedures Manual, Memorandum  F-61)

Sponsor of bake sale is required to register with the local health department for each sale.

The menu (food sold at this type of sale) must be limited to cakes, cookies, fruit pies, candies, yeast breads, and nut and fruit breads - foods that do  not normally support the  rapid growth of microorganisms.  The sale of potentially hazardous food is prohibited (for example - cream-filled products; cream, custard, or meringue pies).  Additional  non-potentially hazardous foods may  be allowed with the approval of the local health department sanitarian.

Foods are to be pre-wrapped in the portions that will be offered for sale to the public.  Slicing, wrapping, or exposing foods at sale or distribution site is prohibited.

This policy does not apply to facilities where food is prepared or sold routinely, on a scheduled or ongoing basis.  Such facilities must meet all the requirements of the Food Service Sanitation Rules or the requirements for a food processing or manufacturing plant.
