California Retail Food Code (Health and Safety Code 113700-114437) sets uniform mobile food facility permit, equipment, and food safety standards enforced by counties statewide.
California regulates mobile food facilities (MFFs) under the California Retail Food Code, codified at Health and Safety Code sections 113700 through 114437. The code establishes uniform standards for mobile food vehicles, including construction, water and waste tanks, commissary requirements, food handler cards, and operator permits. Each MFF must obtain a permit from the local environmental health department in the county where it is principally based and display the permit and operator card. While cities and counties may regulate location, hours, and zoning of food trucks, the core food safety and permit framework is uniform. SB 972 (2022) modernized standards and reduced barriers for sidewalk vendors and microenterprise food operations.
Operating without a Mobile Food Facility permit is a misdemeanor. Health code violations can result in immediate closure orders. Uncertified food handlers face fines.
