Food trucks in Bristol County need a local mobile vendor permit and a 105 CMR 590 mobile food permit from the municipal Board of Health. Fall River, New Bedford, and Taunton issue separately.
Mobile food operators in Bristol County cities must obtain both a local mobile vendor permit (hawker/peddler license under MGL c. 101 §17) and a mobile food establishment permit from the municipal Board of Health under 105 CMR 590 (MA Food Code). Fall River, New Bedford, and Taunton each run their own licensing processes with annual inspection. Requirements include: commissary agreement for prep and waste disposal, ServSafe-certified food handler, Class ABC fire extinguisher, handwashing station with hot water, Type I hood if cooking with grease, propane inspection for LP-fueled trucks. The state hawker/peddler license (MGL c. 101 §22) allows travel between towns but local permits still apply. Liability insurance typically $1M required by contract events.
Operating without permit: $250 to $1,000 per day plus impoundment under MGL c. 101 §29. Health code violations: immediate closure under 105 CMR 590. Expired permits: $100 to $500 per day.
