Special Transitory Food Unit (STFU)

A Special Transitory Food Unit (STFU) is a temporary food establishment licensed to operate throughout the state without the 14-day limits of a Temporary Food Establishment license (TFE) or a Mobile Food Establishment that is required to return to a commissary. There are several requirements that must be met before an STFU license will be approved.
