The California Retail Food Code exempts certain food distribution activities at breweries and wineries when specified conditions are met. A Health Permit is not required for the following activities:
- Breweries: No retail permit is required if only beer and prepackaged non-potentially hazardous beverages are offered for onsite consumption and no food other than crackers or pretzels is served.
- Wineries: No retail permit is required if only bottles of wine and prepackaged non-potentially hazardous beverages are offered for onsite consumption and no food other than crackers are served.
