A mobile food establishment is subject to the same rules that restaurants and grocery stores follow under the Wisconsin Food Code. Inspectors will watch food handling, check the hand wash sink and take temperatures. Make sure your vehicle has a supply of tongs, tissues, and/or gloves, since bare hand contact with ready-to-eat foods is prohibited.
All mobile units fall under the Wisconsin Food Code and should adhere to its requirements. Equipment should be listed for commercial food service use by an ANSI accredited listing service (such as UL, ETL, or NSF). A piece of equipment that would not be accepted in a permanent food establishment will not be accepted on a mobile unit.
Hand washing and Ware washing Sinks- Sink requirements vary depending on the type and complexity of the operation.
