Food safety information for food traders

All food traders are required to have adequate hand washing facilities, to include hot and cold running water, soap and individual means of hand drying.

Any high risk food traders will be required to have their own facilities and those determined as lower risk can share with one other adjacent trader. To determine which category you fit into please speak to an Environmental Health Officer in our Food Safety team.

It is the responsibility of each trader to have their own wash hand facilities. St George's Market has a limited amount for hire at £5 per day. All units will be hired on a first come first served basis.

No one will be allowed to trade on any market day unless they have the required hand washing facilities. Any trader wishing to trade (including casuals) will be required to produce evidence of having the required washing facilities before they will be permitted to trade. Absence of suitable facilities will result in the trader being required to cease trading.

Real Deal logoReal Deal charter

Traders at St George's Market became the first in Northern Ireland to sign up to the national Real Deal charter on 20 July 2012, a campaign aimed at stamping out the possibility of fake, illegal or unsafe goods from market stalls.

Belfast City Council is the first local authority in Northern Ireland to embrace Real Deal, which reinforces our commitment to combating the sale of counterfeit and other illegal goods at the market by working in partnership with the relevant authorities.
