Watch out for

  • Promising anything is nut-free or gluten-free: with home baking you can’t know.
  • Cream and custard items left warm.

Covered by the Food Act fundraising exemption if run fewer than 20 times a year; keep cream items cold and put up a sign that it’s home baking and you can’t say what’s in it. Outside a store needs the store's permission; on a public footpath check the council.
