More than 100 street vendors in Santa Ana have been shut down in recent weeks for allegedly selling food 'unfit for human consumption' and for lacking proper county permitting, the city said Tuesday.
On a chilly night in late December, the scent of carne asada sizzling on a grill attracted hungry customers along First Street in Santa Ana.
The man is one of more than 100 street vendors in Santa Ana shut down in recent weeks for allegedly selling food “unfit for human consumption” and for lacking proper permitting, city officials wrote in a news release last week.Under the California Retail Food Code, food trucks and mobile food vendors are required to obtain a county health permit. But many street vendors say they cannot afford the sinks and water tanks needed to qualify for a permit.
Christine Lane, the county’s director of environmental health, said the agency has received reports of people falling ill after eating street food, but the most recent complaints have been “primarily for operating without a health permit.”Customers say the vendors deliver a culinary experience that fits a city with a population that’s nearly 77% Latino.
“I would rather eat here than a sit-down restaurant,” he said. “It’s more comfortable. These are my people, cooking my food.”
