A FEW WORDS ABOUT POULTRY AND EGG FARM LICENSES
A poultry shop is a store that sells slaughtered poultry and other birds, both fresh and frozen, as well as eggs. It is permitted to operate more than one store of the type referred to in this article in the same premises, in such a way that they constitute a single store, which will include as many departments as there are types of stores operating in the same premises (mixed store), provided that each section employs separate staff.
They will have the following spaces:
Sales area (mainly store) of sufficient capacity, depending on the store’s customer traffic, in such a way as to ensure comfortable customer circulation and easy cleaning, and in any case not less than 15 square meters.
Storage space, commensurate with the commercial activity of the store. A warehouse is not necessary for small stores with an area of 20 square meters. The above areas shall be separated from each other by walls or other solid structures that can be easily cleaned and do not provide a breeding ground for mice, cockroaches, etc.
The items for sale shall be neatly arranged inside the store. It is prohibited to display the above items outside the building line, on the grass or on the sidewalk.
Sacks and all types of containers, boxes, etc., containing foodstuffs shall not be placed directly on the floor, but on wooden platforms at least 0.30 m high and at a sufficient distance from the walls to allow adequate ventilation.
Food vendors shall be healthy and perfectly clean and shall wear a white or light-colored clean shirt. The Health Service may require shops covered by this article to hire a cashier if it considers that their customer traffic warrants such a measure.
