It depends on your definition of "need".

If you are giving food to other people (be it in a grocery store, in a restaurant, or giving it away) it's reasonable to expect that you can give a reasonable guarantee that that food is not spoiled.

You don't need a permit for that. A permit is a piece of paper signed by someone who will never see this food.

You also need a permit to open a store of any kind, which doesn't mean the guy who signs it will ever walk into it.
