Abstract: A salad bar-type food display and self service unit is provided which includes a base, a table or counter supported by the base, and a fan assembly mounted to the table and disposed above the table for circulating air above the top or display surface of the table. A sneeze/cough guard may be mounted to overlie the table, in which case the air circulating fan or fans are preferably mounted above the guard. The salad bar unit provides desirable air circulation and a barrier to flying insects without compromising portability and/or requiring structural modification of the store or restaurant in which it is used.
