Cooking for Groups: A Volunteer's Guide to Food Safety
About Cooking for Groups
The goal of this brochure is to help volunteers prepare and
serve food safely for large groups such as family reunions,
church dinners, and community gatherings. This food may be prepared
at the volunteer's home and brought to the event, or prepared
and served at the gathering.
The information provided in this publication was developed as
a guide for consumers who are preparing food for large groups.
For additional information, and to ensure that all state regulations
or recommendations for food preparation and service are followed,
please contact your local or state health department.
