The State of Oregon’s food industry has been operating under food codes that have not been updated since 1999.
The Oregon Health Authority (OHA), the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) and food service stakeholders are working to update the statewide food code for Oregon. Whether you are a food processor, grocery store or restaurant, everyone will be held to the same food safety standards and criteria, including food carts.
Given the proliferation of food carts, the parties are focused on regulations that promote health and safety for food cart owners and patrons alike.
