Sidewalk Food Vendor Webinar - 4/13/2023

This recording is from the Sidewalk Food Vendor webinar on April 13, 2023. In September 2022, the Governor signed Senate Bill 972 (SB 972), creating a new chapter within the California Retail Food Code effective January 1, 2023. This new chapter expands opportunities for food cart vendors and manufacturers by streamlining the plan check process and reducing structural and operational requirements. This virtual webinar presents and discusses the steps to get a permitted cart to sell food on the sidewalk in Los Angeles County under the new regulations established by SB 972. Environmental Health's team also answers questions from attendees. Learn more here http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/eh/b...
