A LA County Public Health worker begins to throw away food from an illegal food vendor cart.
[KHTS] -Los Angeles County Public Health officials, along with Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies and City of Santa Clarita Community Partnership officials, conducted an unpermitted food vendor task force Thursday afternoon.
The task force was led by Los Angeles County Public Health officials with help from city of Santa Clarita officials. SCV Sheriff’s deputies accompanied the task force as a precaution.
“When we do these. what we normally try to do is to target the illegal vendors and generally the illegal vendors are trying to sell corn and things that aren’t packaged out properly,” said Deputy Dan Dantice, a member of the SCV Sheriff’s Station Crime Prevention Unit. “It’s a health issue.”
In the city of Santa Clarita, “no park or open space area may be used for any commercial use or enterprise
in any form unless the city is directly involved as a co-sponsor of an event or project or the (Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services) has authorized such commercial enterprise in writing with a permit,” according to city ordinance 14.06.160.
City officials define “commercial use or enterprise” as “any use of a park or facility amenity for or in connection with any money making venture,” according to the ordinance. This includes selling, offering for sale or peddling of any goods, wares, merchandise, services, liquids or edibles for human or animal consumption, and/or sales activities that utilize park property or facilities to complete the terms of sale.”
Mayonnaise that had been sitting on an illegal food vendor cart for possibly hours in 100 degree heat.
“We try to do at least a monthly vendor sweep through the code enforcement team,” said Community Preservation Officer Efran Galindo. “We issue out administrative citations or verbal warnings to mobile peddlers. Many times they don’t know that type of peddling is not permitted within city limits.”
Many times, mobile peddlers come from the San Fernando Valley are dropped off in the Santa Clarita Valley to sell their goods from a painted, wooden cart, Dantice said.
A majority of vendors who were approached by officials Thursday were in compliance with county and city code or were given a verbal warning for a minor violation.
No arrests were made.
About once a year, the city teams up with SCV Sheriff’s deputies and LA County Public Health officials to organize a task force in an effort to combat illegal food vending.
“When they have perishables that are made in garages and people’s houses and then they’re brought up here or from here — people buy them off these carts and there’s no standardizations,” Dantice said. “It’s a health issue plus it’s unfair for the businesses that are paying for these permits and inspections because they can’t compete with the (illegal vendors) because the (illegal vendors) don’t have that overhead.”
One man’s cart was confiscated by LA County Public Health officials because perishable food — including mayonnaise and cheese — was not being refrigerated.
LA County Public Health officials load an illegal food vendor cart onto their truck.
“These guys, they have to pay the city and they have to pay the county and the ones that are just pushing around something they got out of their garage don’t have to pay anything, so it’s not fair,” Dantice said.
Both city of Santa Clarita and the LA County Public Health receive complaints about illegal food vendors. Here is the website for the city.
Violators of the ordinance can be given a warning. Citations can be issued as well.

That’s great news.!.!.! Maybe once they get all the illegal Cheetos off the streets they can focus on the heroin problem next…
RIGHT..!!!!! ??
Exactly
#MicDrop ??
Werd! ?
????
Lol
Lmao
Exactly
???
Well said????
???????
Right!!! There are many other problems aside from this
There’s not a problem with heroin anymore. Thanks to voters allowing Prop 47, It’s a misdemeanor to possess. No more snitches.

And it’s moved on from heroin to meth anyways
^^yea man get your drugs right lmao either one is nasty and horrible…should be more priority
Lol !!!
Illegal is illegal. If I’m running a food business of any kind without permits or being checked for proper food handling, is face all kinds of fines, possible lawsuits (if someone gets sick) and possible closure. Not right for those who are trying to do it right.
You are totally right! Not in this valley!
We pay taxes and have all permits, insurance etc and now these people can sell whatever they make I their garage !
I don’t think do.
Lol!
Bravo! ???
So you’re saying they can only work on one thing at a time? A bit small minded, wouldn’t you say?
I’m not sure if our local law enforcement is smart enough to work on more than one thing at once joe Joe Grizzle. But in the unlikely event that they are, I don’t think selling hot Cheetos next to the park in Newhall should be high up on their to do list. Looks like 224 people agree with me too. By the way, I’m glad your daughter is teaching you to count, looks like she’s almost got you all the way up to ten. Keep going sport, you’ll get there one day…??
Those pesky laws again!!
Those pesky laws again!!

This.

Emily Sartain ZacandJessica Perkins Holly Varak ???
Oh goodness
The people one who run this town are BUZZKILLS!
So, all the murders and robberies are solved?
Right! ?
Right
So police can’t enforce any laws until every murder is solved? I don’t get it.
It’s an incredibly low priority crime that is a direct reflection of an overbearing burdensome government.
Well….. bye!
Agreed that we do have much larger problems here but unlicensed vendors can create several problems for local businesses as well as the general public.
For example?….
Nobody is regulating how they prep nor store their food which leads to food poisoning, hep a, etc. not to mention that if you are going to profit from food sales you should pay the same fees as the people who are licensed.Taxes/fees suck but it’s a part of that life.
lol your a good sheep
Millions of people get food poisoning every year and thousands die from it. There is a good reason for health inspections.
Shanties feels it’s OK to break laws. Let’s all graffiti his house.
Unbelievable. Laws are only for stupid people aka sheep?
Really…food poisoning?
I’ve had really bad food poisoning (should have gone to the hospital) at least 5 or 6 times in my life. And everytime it was from an “inspected” grade A restaurant. And not from a banana vendor.

I’ve had food poisoning from in and out, people get a grip of yourselves!

Lame af.
No elotero man today ?
The struggle ??
Salted melons cause thousands of deaths ever thousands of years.
So do bathtubs.
No wonder I always have to drive to the valley for tacos, street dogs aka “danger dogs” and my number 1. The raspado and elote man.
They do this because the city makes no money off of them. They cut into local business which does pay the city. Reason #2 is that in order to look like they are actually accomplishing something they arrest people who are otherwise nor harming anyone & trying to make a living. There are some who would say this is done to deflect from the fact that our city is becoming more & more riddled with crime & murder.
Good points true I do not disagree. But also licensed stores need and are checked for safety reasons. If you get food poisoning from one of those trucks there’s nothing you can do. Therefore the reason they are not allowed. But as I said earlier in a comment I put I love the raspado man and the eloteros, from the valley. I take the risk especially with the street dogs and taco vendors but it is delicious
Maybe grant money was obtained by the City which they have to spend on these special projects and also because the neighbors complained the loudest that these trucks are parked in front of their home.
Illegal businesses need to be reprimanded. Simple. Jose is right. They don’t pay taxes and licensing fees.
they make chump change, they don’t make enough to be paying taxes and licensing fees
they make chump change, they don’t make enough to be paying taxes and licensing fees
they’re just barely trying to survive! they work hard for their money!
they’re just barely trying to survive! they work hard for their money!
Seriously who would buy from such a shady vendor anyway? Then again somebody is or they wouldn’t be doing business.
Jose Alberto no more mangos :( ???
Leave the cucaracha alone!
I’m glad scv has its priorities in order.
NOT!
Wow!! Isn’t there bigger problems that need to be dealt with? ? Yesterday afternoon I seen at least six cops swoop up on the corn man with weapons drawn like if he committed a freaking murder SMH!
Lame af. I guess hes a terrorist on a watch list.
I wonder if those little girls in front of food for less selling cookies need a permit hmmm…..
Actually, yes the Girl Scouts do. They can’t just show up and sell cookies. There has to be an agreement with the store and documentation in order to sell. And they have to buy insurance as well. Don’t compare this to them.
Oh im sorry what about the kids selling lemonade?? can I compare them to them??
Oh im sorry what about the kids selling lemonade?? can I compare them to them??
Yea, but was the corn gluten free?
If not, I can see were swat should be involved.
Leave the elotero man alone!!
Anthony Martinez
last Saturday in Saugus two little girls we’re selling lemonade without a permit so next time I’ll be sure to call the Sheriff’s to verify they have one along with all the yard sales I see every weekend
Yard sales aren’t a health hazard duh
Neither is selling chips DUH!! They have to have a permit just like everyone else DUH!! It’s all about making money DUH!!
That’s just it. They don’t have permits. I would prefer our country doesn’t turn into a third world country.
And clearly you didn’t read the article that states they don’t have permits to be selling what they’re selling. Call the sheriffs on little girls lemonade stands and garage sales? lol Go ahead. The sheriffs department will ignore you.
Clearly you didn’t read my post correctly they (lemonade stand) don’t have permits to be selling what they’re selling . Is it ok to go after one group of people for not following the laws and not the other?
And FYI u need a permit to have a year sale.
Are there any cities that allow illegal food sales?

no 1 said there was Diana Campa Limon and Like I said ….IS IT OKAY TO TARGET ON GROUP OF LAW BREAKERS AND NOT THE OTHER?

Idiots
The Sheriffs are very lazy in this valley! They would not go after the guy that did a home invasion o was a victim of.. But had no problem sending out the SWAT team to traumatise a 7 year old kid for a father who wouldn’t turn his son over 3 hours early for a courts order visit I on..
They have a task force for that?
Humble People trying to make a living…they are not selling drugs or shooting kids!!
They still need to obey the law.
If they were selling tickets for a city event they would not get kicked out….greed greed!!!
But its easy to run down a man pushing a taco kart.
Oh man! I absolutely love the corn on a stick guy! So bomb!
No wonder I can’t find the elote man. :( Damnit!! Think there are bigger problems than this!!! So lame!
Alicia Schuler Taylor Schuler Javier Torres our music is being taken away lol
It takes away from local business’s which cuts into the legal employment of Americans. Glad to see they’re doing something about it. Never thought they would.
I’d be a little concerned if employment for Americans is threatened by a corn on a stick or flavored shaven ice.
And they never say there were undocumented immigrants, they say unlicensed street vendors. Are those synonyms ? lol
Most small businesses will pay undocumented workers under the table in order to get past paying the ridiculous fees the government charges. Then they put laws into place to make it illegal to do just about anything so they can charge fines. Then they take that money to fund the cars, cell phones, trips, etc that the government workers get. I’d rather give my money to the food truck where at least I’m pretty sure they’re using the money to take care of their families. These stings don’t help small business, they help big business
lmfao sheep
lmfao sheep
Really?
yes Dennis…. because there’s so many corn related businesses in Canyon Country!! Lmfao!
I pay 10s of thousands a year in taxes and license fees. I do not employ illegals and consistently support local vendors but they need to be licensed and follow every law I do
And for the idiots saying they are going to call about lemonade stands and yards sales grow up
Actually, grocery stores sell corn. So do farmers markets.
Come on now…..we dont need to argue about if they’re illegal aliens or not. We all know they majority are. Period. Otherwise they would have a legal job.
I grew up in Santa Clarita and spent most of my life there. Unfortunately, Los Angeles county is one of these sanctuary cities for illegal aliens. Most laws are not enforced on them.
And least they are not begging for money but doing what they can to make money for their families- I’m a customer love the corn guy ??
Ya and not holding up a cardboard saying like I’m homeless or no job and they have 2 good hands and feet.

Its sad, but we have laws and everyone must follow them. They may not be out there begging for money, but who knows whats in thier food or, the sanitation of how there food is being handled. This is nothing new everyone who owns a small or big restaurants has to follow rules , and thats to protect us the people. Yes , I love the corn guy and the fruit stands, but again this is no big news exspesicaly in Santa Clarita.
Yess Stephanie Edward
Yes I agree. But it’s simply a CHOICE to buy food from these unlicensed food vendors I think everyone knows it’s a risk to buy street food . Thank you thou ! I know it’s not big news but my comment got a lot of likes lol ?
???????
All they doing is trying to feed there families lame ass cops got Nothing better to do they should go check out dunking donuts on Sierra
That’s good now the hard working people can start selling drugs instead
How hard is selling food/fruit from a truck? Weak argument …don’t play that card.
Sounds like Michelle is down to do some drugs ayee
Mmmm, never done it myself (thank goodness) But, staying in a truck maybe with ventilation maybe not, with high heat right now, standing for hours, no bathroom handy; doesn’t seem pretty comfortable to me.
Your just a ignorant snot that grew up in a rich family that dosent know the struggle to live
Michelle why don’t you try it sometime?
Michelle why don’t you try it sometime?
??
She would be selling organic & gluten free….???pinche guera
We’re they selling DRUG tacos? We’re they KILLER tacos? Panhandling for a fake funeral? Impeding on traffic and begging for $ to pay for their drug habit????? Wow really SCV Sheriff?????
Turning the SCV into a third world
By street vendors ? ? you got to visit third world countryside of France or Italy, lets don’t forget about Beijing and Fukuoka ?
wow really Mike? you sound so ignorant!!
wow really Mike? you sound so ignorant!!
So you only see the bad and nothing good? What we don’t see is still being worked! Only so many hours in a day… Curious! What are you doing to help?
Doesn’t matter , you call the Sheriff…..”they are pretty busy…but will send someone out”. Hmmm.
Damn that’s the homies truck.
Wow that’s more important then busting the tweaker trash up and down lyons.
He’s just trying to make a buck
This is so unfair. All they care is about the money they aren’t receiving. I agree with the health issues but a lot of the time these vendors who sell food are usually known to us, they come to the same park, same street all the time, we grow a habit of buying off the same vendors as we become familiar to them. Such an easy target to go against them, what about the drug dealers?
Bootleg Funions..
This is what my taxes is going to? My money is going to solve an issue apparently NO ONE but the city council has an issue with, smh
Those residents apparently have a problem with it. How do you think the Sheriff’s found out.
Mean while there’s a guy driving around selling coke and other drugs to kids lol
About time! Is beginning to look like LA of Tijuana.
What is La of Tijuana?
If you want to be in business pay the fees that all business owners have too!
They do because in order to stand on the street and sell you need a permit ..
Lucy Mendoza
Esa es mi lonchera
Jjajaja y si es
Si pero por mendigo le paso eso
I was just wondering where I could find an elote vender. Darn!
Go to SFV :)
Ive done known the elotero man since i was 3 and im 23 NOW. These vendors have had a BIGGER impact and influence on OUR lives than the city COUNCIL has.
#CityCouncil
I hear Newhall 13 controls all the street food in this valley. Good job LASD for taking away their taco revenue
No you got it all wrong… MS-13 controls the food vendors, newhall 13 controls the lemonade stands
Lmao you sound like dumb ass
Where does that leave Brown familia? Do they get a piece of all ice cream sales ?
They used to until the great ice cream wars of summer 2013, they lost that battle to the v-town crips
Thank you for the laughs! Bahahaha
Well at least Val Verde park 13 still has their corn trade on lock
I hear the skins in acton are slanging ham sandwiches too
Not the elote man! Come on!
I agree with Gary wanjon
First the HOMELESS NOW THE FOOD VENDORS… Try giving tickets to people on their phones TEXTING AND SPEEDING…AND DRUGS, THAT WOULD BE A BIG HELP IN THIS CITY. Funny how they pick their projects
Exactly
how sad, i think i drove by that truck near Hart HS a few days ago. Come on trying to make some money. Use the time for more serious issues!
Again, punishing the people who are trying to make a living while others are living off of welfare. I just don’t understand! That’s something they should should focus on instead.
Gustavo A. Medina Gotta love Santa Crapita ?? There goes my kids lemonade stand ??
LOL! thanx for the Tag.. This stuff just makes me laugh. But a job is a job… Que No?
Yup illegal Cheetos takes priority over the Heroin issue in this Valley smh?
Trust me it amazes me of the stuff I hear… It’s just sad but like they say it is what it is… Lol!
Many people buy from them because they have no transportation to the grocery store. Pretty sad that this is what they are doing, rather than getting rid of the people selling drugs to kids in elementary school, etc. The people in the food trucks aren’t harming anyone.
It’s funny how all the people pissed on here are primarily Hispanic .. if you had a child who got food poisoning and died because of all this you’d be pissed that the sheriff’s couldn’t do anything to find them . Unlicensed , unregistered means unknown address .
And it’s funny how all white ppl like your comment ??
And it’s even funnier Cecy Barragan that you think I’m white ..I’m half Hispanic and I speak out of logic not racially biased.
Ok sorry but Cecy Barragan 2 of the people that liked my comment seem to be of Hispanic origin …which makes me think that somewhere your hurt is a little racially driven . I’m sorry all I see is what can get hurt on all this is kids and licenses are ment to protect consumers so what’s your rational?
No one has died from eating the good food from the elotero or from the lonchera so shut up
You don’t know me I definitely don’t know you so I I say this very kindly don’t tell me to shut up Ana Ana Joven
You don’t know me I definitely don’t know you so I I say this very kindly don’t tell me to shut up Ana Ana Joven
Ana joven it’s very sad that you speak to a perfect stranger that way if it were me talking to you I would try to understand the point you are making . This has nothing to do about race but the fact that when something operates illegally it ceases to have the responsibility of a standard . I know not of the places you speak of and I’m pretty sure if your defending them they must have good food ,but laws are rules and when you operate outside of the rules you have what is referred to as anarchy. If there were anarchy then we in essence could do as we feel , but we do have these laws and they must be respected by everyone .

Yes, yes…we must have rules. We MUST OBEY!
OBEY! OBEY! OBAMA! OBEY!
Huh?
Shut it!
Anarchy? Really? Because some dude is selling friggin bananas out of his van?
Next!
Heroin & Meth are the number one problem in SCV. Not illegal lettuce sales.
Priorities.

Great picture of the SCV Sheriff!
officials tired of people not paying outrageous rent prices that force poor peoples food businesses to fail when they try to rent a building..is what the article should say #SCV #SantaClarita #Foodvendors #CityofSantaClarita
Santa Clarita Sherrifs need to get there priorities straight??? Cases to murders, drug dealers, robberies must be solved already that they are dealing with pity things!!! That is why this city is a joke to others. The arrests made out here are ridiculous?
Not my elote man ?
Wow! Go get a fkn real job! I’d rather support these ppl than the ones begging for money on every corner!
Give me a break! Have mercy and grace! They are not begging, stealing, harming, vandalizing, they are WORKING in a 106 degrees! Move on to the drug dealers, violence, robbers the ones who do harm our community. Prayers
Can’t let people do business without the state getting its cut.
great news story !
“Task force”????? Fck outta here lol go do some PT instead
Maybe “task force against unpermitted food vendors” would have been better? That, instead of “unpermitted food task force.” But you’re only journalists, so why be able to write?
Wow, sounds like this city is gonna be a much safer place now, causing all sorts of trouble like feeding the hungry and all…..those eloteros packing on that mayonnaise, yup…..THUG LIFE
FINALLY!!!!
All they are doing is selling fruit come on know go look for all the drugies
Wait! You are all upset the deputies are cracking down on corn instead of heroin? Why? Proposition 47 classified heroin as a misdemeanor, coincidentally the same as singling illegal corn. Quit your crying! You voted for it…
They want to win money for thei families… Come on
Omg ? Mariano C Hdez
Omg ? Dulce N Pedro Perez
I know no elotero man today les andaban quitando sus carritos y cerrando loncheras
The reason I stay away from SCV is the law enforcement. I was pulled over so many times out there. Most involved a search of my vehicle. Sir you didn’t use your turn signal, please step out of the vehicle. Since I’ve left 20+ years ago… I’ve been pulled over 3 times for legit reasons and let go with a warning. SCV is a training ground.
This is a serious problem. Those guys sell assault tacos, extended hot dogs, and high explosive watermelons. I’m glad the sheriff set their priorities straight by taking down these hard working scumbag people who try to take care of their families.
It’s not the size of the hotdog. It’s the amount of condiments you can load on it.
Flaming hot Cheetos, in the wrong hands could be deadly.
I just hope they weren’t selling drinks with high-fructose corn syrup. Those things can maim a person.

Mayonnaise and cheese left out in 100 degree weather, nasty. Can I interest you in a side of food poisoning with that? Just kidding, I gave it to you for FREE!
Hey Sheriff! Are you gonna bust the kids lemon aid stands next? They don’t have a license either?
Lmao there a joke
That guy’s a good guy to. always go to his truck
I’m so glad people of all backrounds are reading this and agreeing how dumb SCV is for this.
How about the heroin problem???? Or the fact that we need a homeless shelter .
Almost as many people die from food poisoning as they do from heroin use.
Not really if you check 3,000 die of foodborne diseases. (Center for Decease control and prevention) but the national Institute of drug abuse says there was about 23,000 for heroin overdose in 2013 and get higher every year (Just giving facts) :)
Another fact: Voters passed Prop 47 which makes heroin possession a misdemeanor. You get cited, released, fined. Voila! Out on the street again. Just watch the use and overdose explode now. Which leads to violent crimes. Thanks voters.
Bridge to Home is a shelter on Railroad Ave. operates during Winter months. They need lots of volunteers and funding to expand.
Emily Chase Your source says 8,000 died from heroin overdose in 2013. Which is pretty close as a percentage of all deaths. The difference is that people choose to do heroin, no one tries to get food poisoning.
Besides, the premise that we should ignore some laws because there are worse problems is stupid. I think I’ll start running red lights and shoplifting because there are unsolved murders.
I myself don’t even have a speeding ticket on my record and love life without complications so if you wanna become a law breaker just to make your point, have a party !! If you put some much energy into maybe drug consumption in SCV as you do showing the down sides to unlicensed vendors you may make a differences, other wise uff … Well let’s live it like that ! ?
What about the guy begging for money outside of Bank of America on Soledad? Let’s keep those lazy people around
Lmfao!! I see that fool every day! he has two perfectly good legs and perfectly good hands (in which he holds his sign with) which means he is perfectly fine to get a job….but the cops ain’t f****** with him are they?? I guess the cops like panhandlers more than hard working people
And he has a $600 cell phone!!
I don’t know of any business that sells what the street vendors sell (other than tacos), so who are they taking away from?
Good send them back to the valley
You’re stupid
You’re stupid
So is your mom..I hear she’s one of the illegal vendors
Not my frutas. Damn I’ll have to go to McDonald’s to get poisoned today?
Don’t mess with kogi truck
Bro not cool
Caelan McElli Nikki Covarrubias isn’t that near you place Nikki ??
No, but it may be the same truck or a different owned by the same people
Hahah looks just like the one that parks across the street.
How about relocating the homeless far far away instead or the drugs around the kids today!
Top 5 safest city’s in America according to FBI stats. Means lots of free time to bust disgusting illegal food carts. Heres a concept, get a permit and maintain safe temperatures! The ones busted are disgusting!!!!
people know the conditions and temperatures, and still love them…if you don’t like it then just don’t buy one simple as that! you have a choice
people know the conditions and temperatures, and still love them…if you don’t like it then just don’t buy one simple as that! you have a choice
You actually believe fbi stats your just as gullible as the rest of this sorry people that have no clue what kind of city you actually live in lmao SCV is a joke and will always remain a joke
Hate to break it to you Timo Servin but I know this valley better than most do to my job and if you dare to think its “dangerous” your an idiot. Drive 20 min down the 5 to pacoima or sylmar. That’s 100x more. Compare us to re nation and we are Disneyland. How many murders do you think happen here? Cause sorry bro, can’t HIDE murder rates! So enjoy living in Santa Clarita aka Fallujah!
Why would they go after drug dealers when they’re the suppliers?
Scv sheriffs don’t have anything better to do but harass
Making awesome town awesome again!! Now i need to find another fruit salad vendor!!
Arleen-Edgar Hernandez
Not the Lonchera ?????????
Cuz police can’t catch anyone else
????
I lived in the valley I saw some sick stuff, abt time they crack down
Get that corn outta my face!
E-lo-tes! ???
That’s right in front of the pad huh g Jessie Romero
Beautiful Idea, best I’ve heard all WEEK!! Good job SCSD
I pay 10s of thousands a year in taxes and license fees. I do not employ illegals and consistently support local vendors but they need to be licensed and follow every law I do
And for the idiots saying they are going to call about lemonade stands and yards sales grow up
Aww damn it hopefully they didn’t get the raspado man cus this summer heat is heavy ?
Well last time I checked no restaurants sell corn the way they make them, they freaken delicious, look I neever see them get harassed in LA or the Valley, face it it’s the the stuck up Santa Clarita Valley people that complain, makes there town look ghetto. That’s the real reason!
Laura Conant, the corn guy is going down!
NOOO
so glad I left scv! the morals & ideas that brew in this town are only real in this bubble. some of these awesome natives wouldn’t last in the real world.
Why is it okay to commit any crime? If this is a local ordinance violation was it voted in by the community? local board members who were voted in? Either way at some point we all said, Hey I’m gonna let some one else take care of these problems.
It’s so complicated and expensive to do business in Califirnia. It’s either make and sell something or spend your time trying to figure out all of the forms, fees, taxes….
Those food vendors that sell out of the big trucks drive to the poorer areas and sell groceries at very cheap prices. They even have milk, fresh fruit, veggies and bread. They are just trying to make a living and they do actually help the less fortunate by not having outrageous prices.
So as I read through these comments I only see the negative and sadly none of you are saying “thank you”! Look, these units are paid to do the best they can daily, do you at your job get everything done on a day? Lies if you say “yes”! Deputies are given a job to go cover, they don’t ask questions, they just do (just like your job) what they’re told to do. How about some thoughts toward if they wasn’t here for us….?????
We need a Task force for homeless druggies, lazy begging scammers, drug sales taking kids lives hostage, crack prostitues. Broad daylight mind you!! I myself intervene many times and chase them away! Sheriff are too busy! SCV is turning to crap! We pay high taxes to keep a nice clean city….do we really need more flowers and medians??? I contact the Mayor, Senator, Sheriff, monthly on these problems!! SCV is turning to crap. No homeless shelter please, DONT invite more ! Make them rehabilitate and work, maybe help Clean up the SCV, work work work, earn earn earn.. not beg beg beg. I KNOW it’s possible, I’ve seen someone go from drugs, street, to getting a degree and getting a State job!!! No pity parties from me!! Get a job! Sell corn, fruit if needed!!!!
Let’s focus on illegal mayo and not the drug issues in this valley! Smh

Seriously though.. My husband was hospitalized because of food poisoning from a food vendor that makes the food at her house and goes into work places to sell it. I know there are much bigger problems in town, we just choose not to eat anything from those type of vendors anymore because of a bad experience. Still, I’d rather see the drugs and crime rate go down over food vendors.
Danm the block on the news yoo that’s fool was the homie to
How are they suppose to refegerate Cheese and mayo while selling it on the streets? They’re just people trying to make money to provide for their family.
Literary right outside my house. The ppl that run the truck in the pic are great hardworking individuals. Scv police is a joke

On another note
If your worried about the mayo and your other “catastrophic” concerns simply don’t buy from from the vendors/WORKERS seriously what business is it of yours? Are they selling heroin or any other drugs to your children? Are they breaking into your cars? Are they hurting your life? Focus on how you can volunteer and take the drugs of the streets not the workers. Prayers, mercy and grace.
Wow. I can’t believe these negative comments towards our police and our city. Tell me, are there ANY cities that allow people to sell food to the public from food trucks without oversight?? Maybe that’s where the illegal venders should go… Then they will be legal. Sheesh.

So happy to hear that somebody is monitoring this issue. Who doesn’t love that ROASTED CORN slathered with butter, mayo and Parmesan? I don’t want to wind up in the hospital with salmonella poisoning or worse.

Was the food still good? Why throw it away unless its making people sick. People are starving out there.
Santa clarita sheriffs need to be reformed.
This is ridiculous.
Is there an official crackdown on street vendors for Anaheim?
Well this is a pretty old comment page effective January of 2018 when I was in the downtown LA area the streets were aligned with illegal food vendors and we are being told by police and they have been ordered by the mayor to stop bothering these people

I understand that there was a push to legalize Street Vending making permits unnecessary! Shocking
