Items may not contain animal by-products such as gelatin, rennet/rennin/pepsin (found in many commercial cheeses), or any other animal-derived ingredients such as lard, tallow, etc. Vegetarian items containing dairy and/or eggs are permitted. TVA reserves the right to seize any product that is not of a vegetarian nature.
Any vitamin, supplement or other health product capsules not clearly labeled “vegetarian” on the product packaging or accompanying documentation will be assumed to contain gelatin and will be removed from the Food Fair. PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL/PACKAGINGSupporting literature (e.g. brochures, recipes, product packaging or inserts) may not promote, display or advocate any non-vegetarian item. Exhibitors must ensure all recipes to be distributed at TVA events or printed on any product packaging do not call for non-vegetarian ingredients. Images of non-vegetarian items on product packaging for vegetarian items (e.g. seasonings, spice mixes, etc.) are not permitted. TVA and event partners reserve the right to remove any signage deemed unsuitable. EXHIBIT SPACE ALLOTMENTExhibitors must confine their activities to their allotted exhibit space and may not solicit beyond these boundaries. Each allotted space is clearly defined by the venue floor plans. Height restrictions also apply.
