Key Requirements to Sell Food from Home
Even for low-risk foods, you’ll need to meet these conditions:
Get a Permit: Contact your regional health authority (e.g., Vancouver Coastal Health, Northern Health) to apply for a food service permit. They’ll inspect your kitchen and review your plans.


Kitchen Standards: Your kitchen must be clean, pest-free, and equipped for safe food prep. Some authorities might require upgrades like a separate handwashing sink.

FOODSAFE Training: While not always required by law, a FOODSAFE Level 1 certificate is often recommended (or requested) to prove you know safe food handling practices.

Local Bylaws: Check your municipality’s zoning rules and business licensing requirements—some areas restrict home-based food sales.
