EVENTS - Food Permits Due Today
Hello Hushville,
Friendly reminder that if you are serving food to the general public, you require a permit from the NDBPH. Permit applications are due TODAY. Here is more information from the BMORG:
Health Permits
Are you thinking about handing out ice cream or smoothies, or offering a pancake stack slathered in butter and syrup? The last day to apply for a permit from the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health (NDPBH) as a Temporary Food Establishment is Friday, August 12. You must apply if:
- You wish to share or serve food or certain beverages — including freshly-squeezed juice, coffee with dairy, or even snow cones — to the general Burning Man population (this includes gifting food, regardless of the number of people you intend to serve); or
- You will be preparing or serving food to more than 125 fellow campers in your camp. If you have a communal kitchen shared by 125 or more campers but meals are prepared individually or in smaller quantities than for 125 persons, a permit is not required. However, we highly recommend you review the guidelines for safe food handling.
PERMIT APPLICATION:
Instructions on how to apply are available at “How to Apply Online” or, for returning Burners, “Centralized Licensing and Inspections-on-Line Applications and Renewal”.
NDPBH does not issue new permits at Playa Info!
PICKING UP THE PERMIT:
Once your application is approved, you will receive written notification of approval. However, you must pick up the permit in Black Rock City at Playa Info in Center Camp Saturday, August 27 through Wednesday, August 31 from 11 am–5 pm.
IMPORTANT: YOU MUST PICK UP YOUR PERMIT TO BE IN COMPLIANCE. Previously several camps failed to pick up their permit and could not be located. Additional questions: Please contact the NDPBH at (775) 687-7533 or email EHScustomerservice@health.nv.gov
