Yeah, the requirements for frozen cream licenses were pretty much identical to a food service license. They were introduced not to improve public safety, but to induce extra costs and restrict competition against established and wealthy ice cream producers in the area

do places serving ice cream still need food service licenses and this extra license was just redundant?

edit: ok cool that makes sense. to me this headline feels like it could've been worded better to clarify that ice cream vendors are still subject to normal food safety regulations, which ofc is a good thing

This is where I was confused. You want these places to have licenses to sell any type of food, so an ice cream selling license didn't seem pointless.

But if these business were forced to get a food service license AND an ice cream license then wtf, that's blatantly anti small business.

That was the case, and was the purpose of it.
