1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, it is unlawful for any person to

operate a food establishment unless the person possesses a valid permit issued to

him or her by the health authority. 2. The health authority may exempt a food establishment from the provisions of this

displayed for sale, or served at the establishment does not constitute a potential

or actual hazard to the public health. 3. Food that is prepared in a private home and given away free of charge or consideration

of any kind is exempt from the provisions of this chapter, unless it is given to a

food establishment. 4. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, food that is prepared in a private

home must not be sold, or offered or displayed for sale or for compensation or contractual

consideration of any kind, unless the person preparing the food possesses a valid

permit issued to him or her by the health authority for that purpose. 5. A religious, charitable or other nonprofit organization may, without possessing

a permit from the health authority, sell food occasionally to raise money, whether

or not the food was prepared in a private home, if the sale occurs on the premises

of the organization. If the sale is to occur off the premises of the organization, a permit from the

health authority is required unless an exemption is granted pursuant to subsection
