Idaho applies uniform statewide food safety standards to mobile food units under the Idaho Food Code, with public health districts issuing licenses but enforcing the same baseline rules across every jurisdiction.
Idaho Code Section 39-1602 authorizes the Department of Health and Welfare to adopt food safety rules, and IDAPA 16.02.19 (the Idaho Food Code) implements the FDA Food Code statewide for restaurants and mobile food units. Mobile food units must obtain a license from the regional public health district, submit plans at least thirty days before opening under Idaho Food Code 8-302.11, and pass inspections. Cottage food producers operate under separate non-TCS designation rules. Cities and counties may zone where food trucks operate, but cannot impose food safety standards that conflict with the state code.
Operating without a public health district license or violating the Idaho Food Code may result in cease-and-desist orders, civil penalties, embargo of food, and license revocation.
