Frozen Desserts

A Frozen Dessert permit is required for those food establishments that offer soft serve ice cream or soft serve yogurt. Please submit a copy of the frozen dessert report to the Shrewsbury Health Department. Upon receipt, a Health Agent will review the report to ensure that bacterial levels are within acceptable limits.

The permit is renewed March 1 of each year and expires at the end of each February.
