North Dakota requires mobile food establishments including food trucks and trailers to obtain a state license from the Department of Health under NDCC Chapter 23-09 and NDAC Article 33-33-04. Standards for sanitation and operation apply uniformly statewide.
Under NDCC Chapter 23-09 and the state Food Code (NDAC 33-33-04), all mobile food establishments operating in North Dakota must obtain a license from the Department of Health or its delegated local public health unit. License fees are established by rule. Operators must have a certified food protection manager, use approved water sources, equip the unit with handwashing sinks, and report to a licensed commissary daily. Cottage food producers operate under separate NDCC 23-09.5 rules. The state Food Code is the minimum sanitation standard; cities cannot adopt weaker rules but may add zoning, vending-zone, or special-event permit requirements. Reciprocity exists with delegated local health units.
Operating without a license or violating the Food Code is a class B misdemeanor with fines, license suspension, and immediate closure orders.
