All food premises are required by law to be
registered with the Food Safety Commission so that, from time to time, they may
be inspected for their compliance. They would therefore need to register their
Food Premises in terms of the Food Safety Act here.
Additionally, since mobile food kiosks are
not in a specific place 24/7, they would need to apply for the Permit of a
Hawker from the Commerce Department.
In the case of a street hawker please click here
for more information and here to
apply.
In the case of a market hawker, please click
here
for further information and here to
apply.
In the case that an operator wishes to use
public land (such as pavement) to place
tables and chairs a permit from the Lands Authority is
also required. More information can be
found through this link.
