Additional Notes on Cottage Food Registration

Cottage Food Vendors are required to register in the County in which they reside, but may sell in any County in Illinois. The vendors listed below are ONLY those that have registered with the Peoria City/County Health Department to offer approved products produced in a home kitchen.  Cottage Food Vendors who reside in counties other than Peoria must have proper product labeling and be able to provide a registration number that can be verified with the local health department of residence. Registration expires on December 31 of each calendar year and must be renewed utilizing the forms provided by the regulatory authority.  Please note:  the list  below is updated on a monthly basis and is only as accurate as the most recent update.  Contact us at EH@peoriacounty.org with questions regarding Cottage Foods.
