So you want to open a food truck/trailer?

Here’s the checklist of things that need to be done before you can be open for operation to the public.

  1. Plan Review
    • Fill out and submit the plan review application, parts A & B, along with the applicable fee. With
      the application, submit construction plans of the mobile truck/trailer complete with plumbing, electrical, finishing, floors, walls, ceilings, and floor plan designs. A legible hand-drawn document is okay.
    • The floor plan designs should designate equipment placement.
    • An equipment schedule (including cut sheets).
    • A complete list of menu items to be served (including daily specials, if applicable).
    • A picture of the license plate on the truck/trailer.
    • A written and signed commissary kitchen agreement (this will need to be renewed annually).
    • The means by which the assigned inspector can determine the food truck/trailer’s vending location and days/hours of operation (social media pages are common).
  2. All Tier 2 designated food trucks/trailers shall have someone on staff that has a Food Safety Manager Certification (Title 26, Chapter 15a of Utah Code). This person can not be the food safety manager of any other establishment. A Food Safety Manager Certification is different from a food handler’s permit in that it requires a higher level of education and training and involves taking an extensive course in food safety.
    • Submit a copy of this certificate to the health department to be registered with the facility.
    • Each employee (except for the Food Safety Manager (FSM)) must have a food handler permit issued by an approved instructor as determined by the Utah Department of Health.
    • Tier 1 designated food trucks/trailers are not required to have a Food Safety Manager Certification; however, all employees must have a food handler permit, as explained above.
  3. Final Inspection
    • a. No establishment shall open without a pre-opening inspection being done.
      These requirements apply to all new mobile food trucks/trailers, either newly constructed or a used truck/trailer, and to all changes of ownership. All of the applications and additional information can be found in this New Establishment and Information Packet. Additional fees may be levied for incomplete applications or plans. Please contact the Bear River Health Department with any questions.
