Food on a wooden-board. From Creative Commoms
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health announced that starting Oct.7 applications will be available for those who want to start their own Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operation or MEHKO with permitting to begin Nov. 1. Applications will be available on the program’s website.
Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations are food facilities that are operated by a resident from their private kitchen. Once permitted, a resident can store, handle, prepare, and serve food to the public, as allowed by State law, similar to a mini restaurant.
“Entrepreneurship comes in all different shapes and sizes and we want our policies to work for everyone. By permitting MEHKOs, LA County can open doors for new micro business owners, celebrate diverse local chefs, and help families make ends meet,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn.
Public Health’s Environmental Health Division will authorize permits and conduct annual inspections and complaint-based investigations.
Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations have requirements and limitations that an operator must follow.
