Permits may be required for Food and Bath & Body Vendors
Food Vendors

Sellers must ascertain whether their food products require permits, as not all foods are subject to this requirement. Anyone involved in the sale of food must secure the necessary food permits as mandated by the Nova Scotia Department of Environment. It is your duty to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations and guidelines.
