If you are having any kind of food at your event, a food permit must be secured from the Office of Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) a minimum of 14 days in advance. Please read EHS’s Temporary Food Permit Policies and Procedures (PDF) to understand the steps required to secure a food permit for your event. 

If you are having food at a private event for only your organization members, a food permit does not have to be completed.
