Food Permits

Protecting Public Health
 
Food permits are required to help protect public health by ensuring that food and beverages offered to the public are prepared, handled, and stored in a safe and sanitary manner. When food is prepared for others to consume, state and local food safety regulations must be followed.
 
Food permits help to:
 

  • Verify that food and beverages are safe for public consumption

  • Ensure proper food handling, storage, and preparation practices

  • Confirm compliance with state and local food safety regulations

  • Provide accountability and protection in the event of a complaint or foodborne illness investigation

  • Support food safety education and ongoing compliance

 
Obtaining a food permit helps reduce the risk of foodborne illness and promotes safe food practices for both businesses and the community.

    ● cake/cake pops
