What are the laws and regulations for food vending in Pennsylvania?

Question

I was thinking of a few ideas on how to make some extra cash. I cant seem to find these laws online very easily.

I was thinking of havng a food stand at a local flea market or maybe at local events like 4TH of July fireworks for example. I might even try to open a coffee stand at one point near a new highway onramp they are biulding.

What would i need to legaly sell things like hotdogs, soda, and coffee? Are there different rules for strictly prepackaged foods like candy, snacks, and soda if I chose to just sell things i dont have to cook?

Answer 1

The best place to check is with the local courthouse or city hall. They will point you in the right direction. Ask at the information desk.
