North Carolina State Law requires that all food cooked and distributed for public consumption be prepared by a licensed and inspected vendor. Thus, cooking and distributing food for public consumption at Stanly Community College facilities or SCC- sponsored events is prohibited, unless done so by a licensed and inspected vendor. Pre-packaged food may be distributed at SCC facilities or SCC-sponsored events if it is prepared by a licensed and inspected vendor, and it is in original, unopened packaging.
