Ensuring Passenger Safety by Preempting Duty and Rest Requirements
FAA proposes to preempt state/local meal and rest break requirements for flightcrew and flight attendants. No direct impact on food truck or cottage food operations.
Aforeworn detected this change in the Food Truck & Cottage-Food Permits space on July 6, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard.
