Fraser Health Requirements – Ready-to-Eat Food Vendors

The following items are required by Fraser Health for all ready to eat food vendors and the mobile food vendors (Food Truck / Trailer / Cart). Please complete all fields below.

Quick Notes – Temporary Food Premises (TFP) Permit

  • Required for vendors operating fewer than 14 days per year at the same location or event.
  • Most farmers’ market vendors who are not operating a full mobile unit (truck/trailer/cart) fall under this category.
  • Application must be submitted to Fraser Health at least 14 days before the event
  • Note that sometimes it takes longer for the permit application to get processed -- so get your permit request in ASAP!  This will give you time to add or modify anything requested by the EHO so that the process can get completed before your first market date.
  • Use this form if you are preparing, sampling, or serving ready-to-eat foods on site.
