Introdução: A comercialização de alimentos em food trucks (FT) representa importante papel no consumo de alimentos fora de casa e a qualidade dos alimentos ofertados por esse segmento deve ser assegurada visando preservar a saúde do consumidor. Objetivo: Avaliar a comercialização de alimentos em FT da cidade de Natal (RN), sob a ótica da qualidade higienicossanitária. Método: Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista estruturada realizada com auxílio de um formulário contendo itens relacionados às condições higienicossanitárias, ambientais e dados sociodemográficos dos manipuladores. As entrevistas foram realizadas em 28 FT, com o responsável pela manipulação no momento da coleta. Resultados: Os alimentos mais ofertados nos FT foram pratos prontos para consumo, sanduíches e salgados, no entanto, apenas 29% possuía equipamento para manutenção à quente. Todos os entrevistados relataram manipular os alimentos em cozinha auxiliar. A inexistência de pia para lavagem de mãos foi verificada em grande parte dos FT. Dos FT avaliados, 75% possuía reservatório de água próprio e a maioria dos entrevistados relatou destinar a água residual da produção na rua. Observou-se predominância de mulheres na manipulação de alimentos nos FT na hora da coleta de dados e 36% dos entrevistados relataram nunca terem participado de capacitação em boas práticas de manipulação. O trabalho no FT era a única fonte de renda para 64% dos entrevistados. Conclusões: Os dados obtidos demonstram necessidade de melhorias nas condições de comercialização de alimentos nos FT da zona sul de Natal. Ações voltadas para promoção da segurança de alimentos nesse segmento devem ser incentivadas.

The purpose of the study was to identify the socioeconomic and professional profile of owners and food handlers of food trucks in a capital in the south of Brazil, as well as to evaluate the knowledge of these individuals regarding food safety. A total of 119 individuals in Curitiba, Brazil, participated in the study.

The participants answered of the questions of food safety correctly (76.63%). There was a significant difference regarding food safety knowledge among the participants related to the level of education (p=0.0054), length of service in the food segment (p=0.0267), and the completion of courses related to the food area (p=0.0016). These results emphasize the need for continuous education and for the development of new strategies for food safety training, in order to improve the knowledge of street food workers.

This chapter examines the contrast between street vending and city regulatory responses in Vancouver, Canada during two time periods—the 1970s and the 2010s. The comparison of “hippy” vending in the 1970s and “hip” food carts and trucks four decades later illustrates the contradictory impulses that shape regulation of commercial activity on city streets. First, there is a process of “formalization” that seeks to tame the informality and messiness of street vending through new rules, standards and regulations. But by the 2010s, a second, contradictory, impulse appears: an embrace of informality reflecting new ideas about “vital” city streets and identifying street vending, in the form of food trucks and carts, as “hip.” But the apparent embrace of the informal has unfolded through highly formalized procedures, and the vitality associated with vending in Vancouver is acceptable precisely because it has been (re)introduced in a highly formalized, regulated form.

This chapter explores the evolution of food trucks and food safety regulations for these vehicles in the Los Angeles region between WW2 and the present. It shows how food trucks have reacted to and influenced the region’s industrialization and deindustrialization, and how food trucks became more informal and public as immigration made Los Angeles a majority non-white metropolis. In considering how food safety changed as operators began cooking on board trucks, the chapter examines how safety rules can both protect the public and reflect social norms of legitimacy around identity and public space.

The urban food scape is changing rapidly. Food trucks, which are part of a wider phenomenon of street food vending, are an increasingly common sight in many cities throughout the United States and Canada. With this rise in the popularity of food trucks, the key issue of regulatory conflicts between the state, street food vending and food truck entrepreneurs, and the wider industry as a whole, has risen to the fore. Cities have responded in various ways to increased interest in mobile food vending – some have adopted encouraging and relaxed regulations, some have attempted to harness the momentum to craft a city brand, and some have rigidly regulated food trucks in response to protest by brick-and-mortar competitors. This Introduction frames the volume through its guiding questions and a variety of lenses - community economic development, social justice, postmodernism. The Introduction also outlines the sections of the volume (Democratic vs. Regulatory Practices and Spatial-Cultural Practices) and summarizes the chapters included in each section.
