Seasonal food establishments and mobile/pushcart food vendors are also required to pay the annual food licensure.  All mobiles and pushcarts are required to have a pre-operational inspection at Panhandle Health District before opening for business.  Please contact your local Panhandle Health District office to schedule your inspection.

 

Mobile Food Service, Food processors or Temporary Event operations requiring a commissary (licensed kitchen) to prepare their product must submit an updated Commissary Form granting permission to use the facility in 2010. 

 

Temporary or Intermittent Food Establishments:  A license issued is valid for multiple events in the district as long as the same menu is served  The vendor must declare, and the license must include a listing of the events to be attended.  A change in menu requires a separate license.

 

Schools requiring a second food service inspection to comply with federal regulations may request a second inspection from PHD.  Submit a completed and signed “invoice” request, with the $305.00 fee for each school requesting the second food service inspection.
