The Michigan Food Law of 2000 requires the licensure of food service establishments (temporary and permanent). Types of food service establishments licensed by this program include:
- Restaurants, cafeterias, grills, cafes, delicatessens
- Bars, brew pubs, taverns, or nightclubs
- Rental halls, theaters, commissaries, catering kitchens
- Donut shops, lunch counters, sandwich shops, soda fountains, coffee shops
- Catering trucks
- Temporary food service stands at a festival, event, or flea market
- Vending machines
- Special transitory food units (a temporary food establishment that is licensed to operate throughout the state without the 14-day limits or a mobile food establishment that is not required to return to a commissary)
The Michigan Department of Agriculture is responsible for inspecting and licensing establishments such as retail stores, bakeries, butcher shops, produce markets, food warehouses and processing plants as well as State or county fair concessions.
To determine which type of food license your establishment needs, please visit the Michigan Food Establishment Licensing Procedures.
For information on preparing and selling food from your home kitchen, please read the Cottage Food law.
