A couple of markets in my local area are quite strict in needing to see food safety certificates before allowing food type businesses to have a stall, but then others are quite relaxed! It's the same with insurance, some need to view the paperwork, others don't seem to mind. I think a lot of people running small fb businesses and those attending markets could really come to grief if something were to go wrong. In reality they should all have an ABN, registered business name, public liability insurance,= and product insurance if they are making their own items.

In regards to food type businesses, I don't really buy from them often. And the few times I have, I didn't check they were working in an approved kitchen, it honestly didn't even cross my mind. It should have but I guess I was just trusting they would be doing the right thing.

I'm sure I've read somewhere too, that in the case of a cake stall, you don't need all food to have come from an approved kitchen?? Crazy!
