Arizona Department of Health Services regulates mobile food units statewide under A.R.S. Title 36, Chapter 8 and uniform food code rules in A.A.C. Title 9, applied through county health permits.
A.R.S. Section 36-136 authorizes the Department of Health Services to adopt uniform food safety rules. A.A.C. Title 9, Chapter 8, Article 1 incorporates the FDA Food Code and applies it to mobile food units. County health departments issue permits and conduct inspections, but the underlying food safety standards are uniform statewide. Cities cannot impose food safety rules that conflict with state law; however, they retain zoning authority over where food trucks may operate.
Operating without a valid health permit is unlawful and may result in cease and desist orders, civil fines, and embargo of food products.
