One other thing to consider...we don’t allow food in exhibit spaces at all and
I have found peanuts in the shell...bits of candy/mints....as well as wrappers
and other stuff under decks and cases while crawling around with a
flashlight....unfortunately.

What about cutting them grapes and tomatoes in half before placing them out?
Then they would not roll??? I would do a “test” on berries to see which ones
really roll? Just a thought. JTV

Hello,
Our events team is in the process of updating the museum’s catering RFP
guidelines. The current guidelines do not permit “rolling foods” such as
grapes, berries, and cherry tomatoes, as we believe these foods become an IPM
concern if they make their way into a crevice or under a permanent fixture.
The registration department is now getting pushback from the events team on
this point and have been asked if they can remove this rule to open up catering
options.
In doing some online research, I haven’t found other museum-specific catering
guidelines that specifically prohibit “rolling foods” (aside from popcorn which
we also do not allow). I am wondering if you have any language/rules/insight at
your institution that could either help the registration department encourage
the events team to keep the no “rolling foods” rule, or persuade us to
acquiesce to a change in policy.
Please feel free to reach out to me directly –

Many thanks in advance for your time.
All my best,
