We seek to protect the public while maintaining New Haven’s quality standards for food preparation and service. To achieve this we work with owners and operators of food service establishments within the city limits to uphold the 2022 FDA Model Food Code and the City Code of Ordinances.
ALL food service businesses must complete an application online with CitySquared.
Office hours are available to assist with applications on Tuesdays from 2:00pm-4:00pm and Wednesdays from 9:00am-12:00pm.
If you need help applying for or renewing your license, use these how-to guides.
To report a concern regarding a food service establishment, the public may contact the New Haven Health Department at 203-946-8174.
