Unlicensed food trucks have been spotted in parks and neighborhoods across Harford County, and health officials say buying from one puts customers at risk.

What’s Happening: Every food truck in Harford County is required to be licensed and inspected by the Harford County Health Department. Once licensed, a truck must display that license somewhere customers can clearly see it.

What This Means for You: Before you buy, look for the license. If you do not see one posted, you have the right to ask the operator to show it to you. Trucks without a license have not been inspected, which is why officials say the risk exists.

The Path Forward: A list of currently licensed food trucks in Harford County is posted at harfordcountyhealth.com.
