About MEHKO in Solano County:
The MEHKO permit allows chefs to prepare, cook and serve food prepared in their home kitchen directly to consumers, either through delivery, take-out or dine-in at the house. Food must be cooked and served on the same day and approved MEHKO’s can serve up to 30 meals a day, or 60 meals per week.
ABOUT MEHKO
MEHKO was established in California in 2019, with the passage of AB 626. Chefs can participate in MEHKO if their county has opted into the program. Solano County’s Board of Supervisors officially approved MEHKO for Solano County in March, 2021.
