I have never heard about this kind of insurance
either. You might need a vending permit from a town or city and maybe a
sales tax permit from the state. I had never heard of insurance for
selling canned or baked goods. I would imagine that you would need to be
inspected by a health department to ensure that your processing facilities
up up to snuff. But this type of thing might be dependant on state/county
laws. I am in New York State, Chautauqua county. What liability
would the insurance protect against? Someone suing you because they got
sick? You would have no control though over what the person did with the
food item when they left your vendor area. Are you at fault for
someone who leaves a perishable food item in their hot car for several hours
while they are at a market? Now if several of your clients became ill with
the same sickness, in my area, that gets back to a health department type of
thing. I am guessing that the market's insurance is for general liability,
someone falls and breaks a leg or something while at the market, I can't
imagine how high your rents would be if the market carried insurance to
cover people getting sick from a food item sold at the market. Makes me
wonder... would a peanut vendor be responsible for someone dying because they
ate his peanuts and the buyer happened to be allergic to them.
