Notifications relating to food premises
If you sell fruit wine, sahti or craft beer to customers, you must send a notification relating to food premises to the Regional State Administrative Agency. Alko retail shops must also send us this notification.
Submit notifications of all other kinds of food premises to your local authority.
Fill in the notification form and send it to your Regional State Administrative Agency’s registry by email or by post.
The Regional State Administrative Agency charges a fee for the processing of your application. A link to the form and the contact information of our registries are given at the bottom of this page.
You must notify the Regional State Administrative Agency of any changes in your sales of fruit wine, sahti or craft beer and any changes to the related premises. The Regional State Administrative Agency must also be notified of any changes in the premises and operations of Alko food premises.
