Pennsylvania's Food Code requires all mobile food units to obtain retail food facility licenses through the Department of Agriculture or local health departments.
Pennsylvania's Retail Food Facility Safety Act (3 Pa.C.S. Sec. 5721 et seq.) and Food Code (7 Pa. Code Chapter 46) require all mobile food facilities to be licensed annually. The PA Department of Agriculture issues licenses outside Philadelphia, Allegheny, Erie, and Bethlehem, where local health departments handle licensing. License fees range from $35-$241 based on operations. Mobile units must operate from a licensed commissary, pass annual inspections, and follow FDA Food Code-based requirements adopted by Pennsylvania regulation.
Operating without a license is a summary offense with fines up to $300 per day. Repeat violations can lead to misdemeanor charges and license revocation.
