What is one of the highest risks when staging a healthy living and eating event?
March 10th, 2010 | by admin |I have to write a lot about this, about how policies and procedures may affect the situation. Maybe from an ethical viewpoint. That sort of thing-any ideas – Please?
Your answers are really interesting and they are inspiring me to write in more detail. I’m going to have to maybe talk about the risk of exercising.
Well, from the top of my head…
a) noone turning up
b) inaccessible venue due to external events
c) cultural factors for food being inappropriate eg pork for muslim visitors etc
d) fire from cooking equipment if applicable
e) being fined for littering and/or noise
Hope this starts you off thinking!

It could be boring and no one will finish their plates of tofu.

Health and safety
Food hygiene regulations
Waste/rubbish from the event itself
Public nuisance/noise
Traffic problems/blocking roads
Council regulations
These things may point you in the right direction. Hope this helps.

How can one be sure of the food quality standards? (IE, is the food cooked all the way through).
In my university, student orgs must purchase any food. IE: a student org did a bake sale but they had to buy all of their cookies (they were not allowed to make them) according to university requirements.

I’ve answered assuming you want to know a risky food, not about running the event. A top level food risk would be deep-fried food. So, battered fish, and some burgers. Other foods high in fat and salt would be ready-meals.
