    GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Food business not to be carried on from insanitary stalls or delivery vehicles 4. No food business shall be carried on at or from any stall which is insanitary or which is so situated or constructed, or is in such a condition, that the food is exposed to the risk of contamination; and in the course of a food business no delivery vehicle shall be used which is insanitary or which is so constructed, or is in such a condition, that the food is exposed to the risk of contamination. Condition of land, vehicles, etc., used for sale or delivery of food 5.—(1) Every stall at or from which there is carried on any food business and every delivery vehicle which is used in the course of a food business shall be kept clean and in such good order, repair and condition as to enable it to be effectively cleaned. (2) Where it is proposed to use any land or market premises or to erect or use any stall for the purpose of sale, storage, exposure for sale or deposit for sale of any food, any person or authority who provides the market or who permits the land to be used or the stall to be erected or used shall take account of the nature and packing of the food which is to be handled; and thereafter— (a) he shall not permit the land, stall or premises to be used for any of those purposes if they are in such a condition as to expose the food to the risk of contamination or prevent the observance of cleanly practices in handling the food; (b) he shall ensure that any land used for any of those purposes is kept clean; and (c) he shall ensure that any stall or premises so used are kept clean and in proper repair. Cleanliness of equipment, etc. 6.—(1) Articles or equipment with which food comes into contact, or is liable to come into contact, in the course of a food business shall be kept clean and shall be so constructed, be of such materials and be kept in such good order, repair and condition as to— (a) enable them to be thoroughly cleaned, and (b) prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, any matter being absorbed by them and any risk of contamination of the food. (2) Without prejudice to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, all containers intended for containing food in the course of a food business, whether or not they come into contact, or are liable to come into contact, with food, shall so far as is reasonably practicable be protected and kept free from contamination. (3) In determining for the purposes of this regulation whether any article or equipment is clean, regard shall be had to the nature and packing of the food for which the article or equipment is required and to the use which is made of the article or equipment.
