MEMPHIS, Tenn — On Tuesday, the Memphis Fire Department announced new requirements for food truck vendors beginning this November.
In a Facebook post, MFD said their "ongoing commitment to ensuring fire safety and compliance" led to the new requirements.
Beginning on Nov. 1, 2023, all food trucks must obtain an annual $50 permit and undergo a mandatory inspection, according to MFD.
They will honor existing inspection certifications from neighboring municipalities and the state of Tennessee.
