KUWAIT CITY, April 19: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has issued a warning that operating food trucks in unauthorized locations is a clear violation of ministerial regulations. The Ministry confirmed it will take necessary legal action against violators, which may include the permanent cancellation of their licenses.

License holders are urged to strictly follow the specified regulations and operate only in approved locations to ensure the smooth continuation of their businesses. This compliance supports the public interest and helps maintain a safe and orderly commercial environment. It is worth mentioning that in November, Minister of Commerce and Industry Khalifa Al-Ajeel revoked the licenses of 19 food trucks for failing to comply with location and licensing requirements. This action was taken per Article 14 of Ministerial Resolution No. 426 of 2019, which governs mobile vehicle regulations. Food trucks are small businesses licensed by various government bodies to serve hot or cold food and beverages from specially equipped mobile vehicles.
