health permit

Food safety certificate

A health permit is an official document authorizing a business to operate after meeting sanitary and safety standards.

Restaurants, food trucks, and other establishments handling food typically must display a current health permit: The inspector revoked their health permit after finding rodent droppings in the kitchen.

The term sometimes extends to permits required for other health-regulated activities.
