Keeping Fairfield’s food community safe
From August 12 through 14, Fairfield Code Enforcement partnered with Solano County Environmental Health for late-night inspections of unpermitted food vendors.
The inspections resulted in six citations. Inspectors found six vendors selling food unsafe for public consumption, and authorities towed one vehicle for Vehicle Code violations.
Violations included missing handwashing stations, unsafe food temperatures, inadequate refrigeration, cross-contamination, and unsanitary food preparation and storage.
Over the past year, the City has provided more than 32 hours of outreach in English and Spanish to help vendors understand the permitting process and meet health and safety requirements.
Food vendors must have required county health permits, City business licenses, approved food preparation facilities, and meet fire and safety requirements.
When purchasing food from a mobile vendor, look for:
• Solano County Mobile Food Permit sticker
• City of Fairfield Permit sticker

Education comes first, but enforcement becomes necessary when unsafe practices threaten public health.
