FOODS/NUTRITION

 

4-H'ers must adhere to the following rules:

2.         Submit food items on paper or disposable plates.  Plastic wrap will be removed so drying of the food will extend display life of the product and food items will be removed from plates and displayed as part of a bakery display.  Individual tags will be displayed separately.  Please do not send expensive or keepsake containers!

3.         No samples or recipes are needed with any food items.

4.         Perishable food items do not need a second identification label.  All tags will be displayed separately.

5.         Biscuits, cookies, muffins and other small items should be four per plate.  Cakes should be displayed in mini‑versions (portions of 1/3 to 1/4 of a larger total product.)  A representative sample of each will be displayed.
