We [The Retail Food Safety & Compliance Department of the South Carolina Department of Agriculture] are excited to partner with you in your new venture and would like to ensure that you get your permit as soon as possible. To that end, we have prepared a Quick Guide for Planning a Retail Food Establishment and compiled a list of the top 10 obstacles prospective permit holders encounter as they prepare for their preliminary site inspection. The obstacles noted are consistently observed throughout the state and frequently cause permitting delays.
