I have started the lengthy process of getting a permit and food license and know now why so many say to heck with it, at least here in Pa.
I was getting no help. and nothing but the run around over the phone, so actually drove to the health department. They sent me to the Chamber of Business who tried to send me back to the health department.
I finally got some phone numbers and spent all afternoon calling and finally got to leave a message with the health inspector so guess I am gaining.
I know I need a dedicated place to prepare food, I will be a mobile unit and will have a canopy to cover my Meadow Creek TS120.
I believe the biggest concern is a dedicated place to prepare food.
I know I need a 4 bay sink, refrigerator or coolers, and work tables.
Since this is a new venture and I already own a 2010 CarMate trailer I am hoping this will work to get me started.
6X12 Carmate Trailer
I found this information Checklist for mobile food facilities and it states
A. Floors, Walls and Ceilings
a. Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and easily cleanable. b. Outer openings shall be no larger than necessary to carry out the food
operation.
I figure if I paint the walls and put a vinyl floor in this should comply and give me what is needed.
I hate to go out and take a beating selling this trailer, then buy a vendor trailer before I even get started.
I even wonder if this trailer could not be modified more if needed.
Any thoughts?
