LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors gave final approval May 21 to an ordinance establishing a permitting process for people who operate food sale businesses out of their home kitchens, and approved a subsidy program for eligible applicants.
In 2019, the California Health and Safety Code was amended to authorize “Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations,” or MEHKO, which allow people to operate a “mini-restaurant” and sell food they prepare in their homes.
