Caterers and festival goers reminded of the importance of washing hands.
Food vendors and event organisers must share responsibility for hygiene fails says report.

A large number of people reportedly fell ill after eating at a particular food vendor’s stall at a recent music festival in Oxfordshire. The final number of those affected is as yet unknown, but a recent BBC report suggested that “dozens of cases” had been highlighted online.

The food stall was operating at the Truck Festival, a weekend long event. The caterer was apparently closed down “within 90 minutes” of the first indication of a problem, an event spokesperson was reported as saying.

The article by Ethan Gudge revealed that the unfortunate incident had initiated a response from the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH), which issued advice and guidance to the sector in an effort to prevents further similar incidents at outdoor and events throughout the rest of the summer.

A member of the CIEH gave a response – and a warning. Hannah Ward said that the incident had put in the spotlight the “critical importance of maintaining the highest standards of food hygiene and temperature control at festivals and other large-scale events”. She sighted the challenges for both event organisers when operating with temporary facilities in hot weather, when large numbers of people are in attendance. “Food operators must ensure they have suitable systems in place to manage these risks and that food safety procedures are rigorously followed throughout the event” she added.

The importance of hand washing

The CIEH specialist also issued critical advice for the consumers of food at festivals – particularly when they are about to consume food from an outlet.

“She also reminded festival-goers to wash their hands regularly with soap and water and sanitise their hands before eating.”
