A Long Season, Especially on the Coast

Mississippi summers are long and hot, and Gulf Coast winters are mild, so many shops on the coast keep scooping well past summer. Order ahead of your busy weeks so you never run short. For winter planning ideas, see ice cream sales in winter.

Permits for Mississippi Ice Cream Shops

Mississippi state law requires anyone who operates a food establishment to get a permit from the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH). Food manufacturers are regulated by the MSDH Division of Food Protection.

  1. Call MSDH Food Protection at 601-364-2832 to confirm which permit fits your business.
  2. Submit a plan review early so your space meets the rules before you build out.
  3. Have your final label ready. Manufacturers need a finished product label before the facility is licensed.
  4. Pick your packaging. Order a sample pack and test tubs in your own cabinet.

Rules change, so always confirm the current requirements with MSDH before you open.
