Food Establishment Permits & Licenses
A Food Establishment is an operation that stores, prepares, packages, serves, and vends food directly or indirectly through a delivery service to the consumer or otherwise provides food for human consumption. This includes but not limited to: restaurants, catering operations, satellite or catered feeding locations, commissary kitchens, food carts and/or mobile units.
Prior to opening a new food establishment or making changes to an existing food establishment in Island County, the Food Code requires plans to be reviewed and approved by Island County Public Health. This review process will help ensure your plans and equipment meet state and local health requirements. Failure to undergo a plan review process prior to changes may delay or halt construction and/or can result in the closure of your food establishment.
