The Grades are in: Mobile Food Vendors may have grading system imposed

[MidwestRick]

Los Angeles County set to ratify new food truck regulations.

There are an estimated 10,000 food vehicles which navigate the streets of Los Angeles County. On Tuesday, all five of the L.A. County supervisors gave preliminary approval for a new ordinance that would require mobile food vendors to submit travel routes to give county health inspectors the ability to conduct surprise inspections.

The results of these new inspections would provide the county with enough information for them to release grades, similar to the grades restaurants currently receive, for each of these vendors. With this approval, the ordinance must be ratified by another vote, sometime next week. Once ratified it would go into effect 30 days after the final vote in unincorporated areas of the county; local city councils would need to ratify the new grading plan for it to be effective within city limits.
