Food Service Establishments

Before an operator can prepare and sell food in NC, a permit for retail food service will most likely be required. Permits are issued by Environmental Health after a thorough review of menus, plans, and equipment considerations. If you are in doubt whether the food service you are planning needs a permit, please contact us at (828) 694-6053.
