MSDH now processes food facility permits electronically through the following permit and inspection process:
Step 1: Request a Plan Review packet by emailing us.
Step 2: Complete the Food Permit application and Plan Review. Send it to the address listed on the Plan Review, or e-mail it to food@msdh.ms.gov (retail facilities) or mfgfoods@msdh.ms.gov (manufacturers)

Use the link in the e-mail to pay the plan review fee, or pay online using your facility ID at www.ms.gov/msdh/environmental/Food. The plan review fee must be paid for online before the plan review will begin.
Step 4: You should receive an invoice for your permit fee via email once your application has been reviewed and approved.
Step 5: Use the link in the e-mail that you receive from us to pay the permit fee, or pay online at www.ms.gov/msdh/environmental/Food. Enter the "Permit ID Number" exactly as it appears on your invoice. Permits must be paid for online before an inspection can take place.
