Summary
Peoria County is updating its food safety rules to make life easier for temporary food vendors. The multi-event temporary license now splits into 'limited prep' and 'advanced prep' categories, so someone selling pre-packaged cheesecakes doesn't need the same certification as a pork chop griller. Other counties are now copying Peoria's model.
