KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — A southeast Wisconsin woman who uses her own money to buy food and prepare meals for the homeless has been warned by local health officials that she can`t continue working from her kitchen at home.
The Kenosha Division of Health told Arnetta Griffin, 51, that she has to prepare the food in a commercial kitchen, the Kenosha News reported . The department began looking into Griffin`s work after receiving a complaint questioning the legality of her meal service operation.
"They are happy with what I am doing, but they want me to go about it in the right way," Griffin said.
A commercial kitchen will make food preparation safer and make it easier for Griffin to store donated food, said Mark Melotik, the county`s environmental health manager...
Ken Notes: This is sooo tough because the food laws are actually good for us, but aunt Birdie can`t sell a wedding cake even though she is the best baker in town!
The good news is that many commercial kitchens are now available to entrepreneurs and volunteers like Arnetta. This is a good thing and every community should look into it...
