Mobile Food Units

A mobile food unit is a licensed operation on wheels, and the exam tests it as a full kitchen with additional constraints.

Key points:

  • The unit must be licensed and inspected just like a fixed operation.

  • Provide a handwashing sink with hot and cold running water, soap, and towels.

  • Store food at safe temperatures in transit, and keep the unit clean.

  • Hold sewage and waste water in an approved tank, and never dump it on the ground.

Every one of these points maps back to a specific Food Code provision, which is why the exam can test it in more than one domain.
