Kern County Cracks Down on Unlicensed Vendors

Kern County Public Health went hard on street vendors this past Saturday, handing out over two dozen citations—including 18 cease-and-desist orders—with fines totaling thousands of dollars for operating without proper permits. The crackdown, ongoing for weeks amid flood of complaints, targeted spots like Jose’s Pizza, which received 26 citations and 36 orders for unlicensed operation. Officials warn that no permit means no inspections, no hygiene guarantees, and potentially unsafe food—putting public health at risk. The county urges vendors to get licensed and consumers to support compliant businesses to keep everyone safe. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
