Colorado requires all mobile food vendors to obtain Retail Food Establishment licenses through local public health agencies under uniform state Retail Food Establishment Rules.
Under C.R.S. 25-4-1604 and 6 CCR 1010-2 (Colorado Retail Food Establishment Rules), all mobile food units including food trucks must obtain a Retail Food Establishment license through the local public health department, which enforces statewide standards. Requirements include commissary kitchen agreements, three-compartment sinks or compliant alternatives, hot/cold holding equipment, and Certified Food Protection Manager. Plan review is required before operation. Local jurisdictions cannot lower state food safety standards but may add operational rules.
Operating without license: closure order, fines up to $1,000 per day, embargo of food. Critical violations may result in immediate operation suspension.
