A food truck operating in Lynn needs a mobile food establishment permit from the Lynn Board of Health under the state Retail Food Code (105 CMR 590), plus a commissary and inspection. A separate permit is required for each city.
Under the Massachusetts Retail Food Code (105 CMR 590.000, which adopts the FDA Food Code), every mobile food establishment must hold a permit from the local board of health in each municipality where it operates, so a truck working Lynn needs a Lynn Board of Health mobile food permit in addition to any home-city permit. Plan review covers the menu, equipment, and a commissary agreement for food prep, water, and waste. Trucks must carry required handwashing and fire-suppression equipment and pass inspection. Hawker and peddler licensing under MGL c.101 may also apply. Permits renew annually.
Operating without a Board of Health permit draws a closure order and fines. Health-code violations under 105 CMR 590 bring immediate closure until corrected.
