Jefferson Blvd. South Bend, IN 46601 PH: (574)235-9721  \nFax: (574-235-9497  \n[http://www.stjosephcountyindiana.com/departments/sjchd](http://www.stjosephcountyindiana.com/departments/sjchd)  \nPlanning Guide for Mobile Food Trucks  \nThis guide will assist you in the procedures required to operate a Mobile Food Truck (MFT) in the City of South Bend. The requirements are extracted from Indiana State codes 410 IAC 7-24, 7, IAC 7-22 and St. Joseph County Chapter 117. While this guide provides some detailed information for operating a Mobile Food Truck, it does not cover all requirements under these codes. The applicants are strongly advised to thoroughly review the Indiana State Food Codes, as well as all applicable requirements from the City of South Bend.  \nA “Mobile Food Truck”(MFT), as defined by the St. Joseph County Department of Health (SJCDoH), is a licensed motorized vehicle that is enclosed, self-contained, and serves food to the general public, while temporarily located at a public or privately-owned location. Food items may be prepared, cooked, and assembled in the mobile unit or may have been prepared, wrapped/packaged, in a licensed commissary or food manufacturing facility. The term “Mobile Food Truck” shall not include push carts, food delivery vehicles, or mobile ice cream vendors. Under limited cases the term could include mobile food trailers.  \nA Mobile Food Truck is permitted to operate in the City of South Bend, it is not permitted to operate outside the designated areas without prior approval. Those wishing to operate outside of South Bend must follow the same procedures as Temporary Vendors.  \nThere are two (2) types of permits available for MFT’s, the Dispensing Only Unit and the Prep Unit.  \nDispensing Only Units sell from the truck, foods that were prepared and packaged either at a commissary or manufactured and packaged by an approved supplier. Dispensing Only Units that have the required cleaning equipment at their commissary, need not comply with these rules pertaining to the necessity of water and sewage.  \nPrep Units can prepare and package food at their commissary and prepare food on the MFT. There are two (2) menu type designations.  \nMenu 1 : Prepackaged non-potentially hazardous foods. Limited preparation of non-potentially hazardous foods.  \nMenu 2 : Limited menu (1 or 2 main items) . Pre-packaged raw ingredients are cooked or prepared to order. Raw ingredients require minimal assembly. Most products are  \ncooked/prepared and served immediately. Hot and cold holding of potentially hazardous foods is restricted to single meal service. Preparation processes requiring cooking, cooling, and reheating are limited to 1 or 2 potentially hazardous foods.  \nDue to the variations of MFT’s, each truck is evaluated on an individual basis. The design of your truck should be suitable to the needs of your menu and food handling requirements.  \nPermit fees for Mobile Food Truck  \n\n| Dispensing Only Unit | $325.00 per unit |\n| --- | --- |\n| Prep Unit | $375.00 per unit |\n\nCOMMISSARY  \nAll licensed mobile food trucks must have an approved, licensed commissary.  \nA commissary is a registered catering establishment, restaurant, or any retail food establishment in which food, food containers, or food supplies are: kept; handled; prepared; packaged; or stored; from which meals are catered and mobile retail food establishments or pushcarts are serviced.  \n410 IAC 7-24 sect. 113, states a mobile retail food establishment must be physically transported to a commissary or servicing area, or both, at least once daily for all: supplies; cleaning; and servicing operations.  \nA commissary must be completely separate from a private residence or living quarters. This means that all water supply, food preparation, food storage, utensil or unit cleaning must be done at your commissary.
