How to Obtain a Temporary Food Facility Permit

Any food or perishable beverages at an event (including prepared on site or off site) that are distributed for free or sold to attendees requires advance review by UCLA Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S). The issuance of a temporary food event permit (a.k.a. temporary food facility permit) from EH&S is often required.

The most up-to-date information on regulations regarding food and beverages at events, when a food permit is required, and the temporary food event permit application process can be found on the EH&S website
