Description:

You must apply for a health permit & be inspected if:

*You will be cooking/serving food to groups of more than 125 CAMPERS on a consistent basis.

(If you have a communal kitchen shared by >125 or more but meals are prepared individually or in smaller quantities for <125 persons a permit is not required but we recommend you research and review food safety starting with the NSHD info).

*You wish to share,cook or serve food or non-alcoholic beverages to the general population (gifting food).

Permit procedures & deadlines:

If you have already applied for a permit you should receive instructions in the mail.

If you are planning to gift food/drinks to the public on the playa including fresh squeezed juice, coffee with
dairy or even snow cones you need a permit.

Here's the scoop from Cindy Ulch, Supervisor with the NSHD Environmental Health Program:

The only application any camp needs is the "Food Permit Application for Burning Man" found here:
