Hi All

I hope someone can point me in the right direction and offer some clarification of food safety legislation , we are a further education college and we have catering kitchens which are inspected / registered with the local authority which are used for our main site catering  however, we also have 'practice kitchens' which we teach student cooking etc, these kitchens are not inspected and are not fitted out to the same standard as our other main kitchens but we do follow basic food safety principles. 

We were always informed that any food prepared in our 'practice kitchens' was only to be consumed by the student/person that had prepared the food and in no way could we sell or give away food items prepared in these areas. When we are holding ingredients bought in by the students or food that has been prepared we do temperature controls ect then the items are then taken home by the students at the end of the day.

My query is regarding charity events, as ive read the community and charity event guidance Providing food at community and charity events | Food Standards Agency and it states these areas dont necessarily need to be registered with the local authority, would it be therefore acceptable to use our practice kitchens in those instances to prepare food items for these types of events.

Any guidance appreciated
