A food truck working Atlantic County is a mobile retail food establishment licensed by the local health authority under the State Sanitary Code, N.J.A.C. 8:24. Each municipality's health department or the county health department inspects the unit and issues the license.
New Jersey licenses food trucks as retail food establishments under Chapter 24 of the State Sanitary Code, N.J.A.C. 8:24, enforced by the local health authority rather than the state or county government directly. A mobile vendor must hold a license from the health department covering the town where it operates, pass vehicle and equipment inspection, work from an approved commissary, and carry a certified food-protection manager. Many Atlantic County towns are served by the Atlantic County Division of Public Health, so a truck selling in Galloway, Hammonton, and Egg Harbor Township may need licensing recognized in each jurisdiction, while Atlantic City runs its own health department.
Operating without a health-authority license or a required municipal permit exposes the vendor to health-code penalties, an order to stop selling, and seizure or embargo of unsafe food.
