Food Safety and Service

H&S works with A'viands to authorize serving and selling food on campus during public events.

A'viands is the University’s approved food service vendor. They can help you with your catering needs on campus no matter the size of your event.

If your on-campus event is open to the public and you are serving or selling food not provided by a campus food service, you need to request authorization from A'viands and H&S at least five days in advance:

1. First, contact the A'Viands catering manager to get approval. The catering manager can be reached at jerry.carter@aviands.com or by calling the catering office at 831-236-2540.
2. Once you get approval from the catering manager, submit the completed Request for Authorization to Sell or Serve Foods on Campus to the H&S office in person or email to safety@csumb.edu.
