Food Safety Standard 3.2.2A came into effect in December 2023. At this stage, the Board does not believe that the SCA Ltd is captured by these new regulations, and no further action needs to be taken by groups or officers regarding these standards. Groups are actively encouraged to assist group members acquire the relevant training (such as food safety supervisor training) as this, similar to first aid training by group members, can greatly improve safety of all participants.

Additionally, no person operating under the banner of the SCA Ltd may sell food to members of the public or those who are not otherwise ticketed attendees of an SCA event. This is to prevent our accidental capture by these regulations, and covers such activities as selling of medieval food at demos and faires.

Individuals or businesses operating at SCA events but under their own banner (such as businesses selling food at Rowany Festival) are not operating as part of the SCA Ltd, and must determine for themselves how these new regulations apply to them.
