A food truck working Gloucester 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 Gloucester municipalities are served by the Gloucester County Health Department, so a truck selling in Deptford, Washington Township, Monroe, and Glassboro may need licensing recognized in each jurisdiction. A separate municipal mercantile or mobile-vendor license and zoning clearance are commonly required on top of the health license.
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.
