Temporary Food Operations
Description
A food operation that is operated for a maximum of five (5) consecutive days and no more than 10 times per year, not otherwise licensed as a permanent or mobile food operation.
Licensing
Temporary food operations require a separate food license for each event and location. No more than ten (10) temporary licenses are allowed per organization/individual per year and a temporary food permit has a maximum of 5 consecutive days per event.
Prior to operating a temporary food operation, you must complete and submit a Temporary Food License Letter of Intent and a State of Ohio Temporary Food License Application. Note: Applications for a temporary food license MUST be submitted to the Health District a minimum of 3 business days in advance of your event. Failure to provide the required documents 3 business days prior to your event may result in you being unable to participate in that event.
