NYC food truck inspection, grading system gains support from operators

November 12, 2018

Ahmed Ali from The Halal Guys has said that he and other food cart and truck operators in New York City support a new plan to give letter grades to vendors, according to a new report by WNBC.

The plan, to be implemented in December, calls for the NYC Health Department to inspect vehicles, assess points for violations and assign a final letter grade of A, B or C — similar to grades given to local restaurants. The grade will be posted on the outside of the food truck or cart.

A tracking device will also be placed on each vehicle to monitor its location, according to the report.
