I've never heard of a health department inspecting/interfering in a
church-sponsored food event, no matter what kind it is - coffee &
cookies after a service, or a funeral feast....
-------------------------------------------------
Our church kitchen has regular board of health inspections just like a
restaurant. They check the temps of the dishwashers, closely inspect
the commercial sinks and have told us that we can't wash dishes in our
"regular" sinks. We have an island with double stainless steel sinks
just like a house, but all we can do is wash our hands in it, no dishes.
Our commercial sinks are so deep that most of the little old ladies from
the church can't even use them. We are expected to use the dishwashers,
but that's a pain if all you're washing are a few forks or coffee cups.

We do bereavement meals and church suppers all the time.
