Food Establishment Licensing and Permitting​

Central District Health Environmental Health Specialists permit and inspect all regulated food establishments and review plans for new and remodeled food establishments for Ada, Boise, Elmore and Valley counties.

Establishments that offer Time/Temperature Control for Safety Foods (TCS) must be licensed by the local regulatory authority. This includes restaurants and mobile food trucks/carts, grocery stores/convenience stores, temporary and catered events, institutions and concession stands and food processors.

Under Idaho law, cottage food producers can sell their food directly to consumers at farmers’ markets, roadside stands, and special events. They can also deliver or pick up orders at home, or sell online.

  • Cottage food producers cannot sell their products at restaurants, grocery stores, or other retail outlets. Those situations require a food processor license.
  • A Cottage Food Designation must be obtained by the local regulatory authority.

CDH reviews and approves all food operations in Ada, Boise, Elmore and Valley county. For licensing fees, applications and guidance, please see the sections below. If you have any questions, email Central District Health.

 

Why is it important to regulate TCS foods?

It’s crucial for food service establishments and individuals preparing food to follow food safety guidelines to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Regulation of TCS foods helps to:

  • Ensure public health: Consuming contaminated TCS foods can result in illnesses, such as salmonella or E. coli infections that can affect many people, causing serious health risks and potential fatalities. Maintaining TCS food safety is vital in protecting public health and reducing the burden on healthcare systems.
  • Reduce waste: Properly handling and storing TCS foods can extend their shelf life, reducing the amount of food that goes to waste. This is economically beneficial for the operator and has a positive impact on the environment.
  • Boost the economy: Outbreaks caused by consuming contaminated TCS foods can lead to financial losses for businesses and the local food economy through lawsuits and decreased customer confidence.

What Are TCS Foods?

TCS foods are also sometimes known as Potentially Hazardous Foods because they are more susceptible to bacterial growth and foodborne illnesses if not handled and stored correctly. Some of the most common TCS foods include but are not limited to:

  • Meat, poultry and seafood products
  • Dairy and egg products
  • Cooked rice and pasta
  • Tofu and other soy products
  • Sliced fruit and vegetables and cut leafy greens (lettuce, spinach, kale)
  • Sprouts and sprouted seeds (alfalfa, bean, broccoli sprouts)
  • Soups, sandwiches, pastries and salads with TCS ingredients

What Are Cottage Foods?

Cottage food products are foods that are not sensitive to time and temperature controls, and only sold directly to an end consumer. This means that these products may not be sold by a third party. Possible locations that these items may be sold are farmers’ markets, roadside stands, and the internet. Cottage foods include but are not limited to:

  • Popcorn and popcorn balls
  • Baked goods, pastries and candies/confections that do not require refrigeration
  • Canned fruit jams and jellies and honey
  • Dried fruits, herbs and seasonings
  • Cereals, trail mixes and granola
  • Nuts
  • Vinegar
