Why do I need to be a CA Certified Food Handler? Why is it so important?
California Food Handler Certification Training is intended to prevent food-borne illness by learning food safety procedures to protect the public, other food workers, and your business.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that each year roughly 1 in 6 Americans (or 48 million people) gets some type of food-borne illness. Of these, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease. Many of these illnesses were acquired in food establishments.
The State of California requires Food Handler Certification within 30 days of employment. A Food Handler Card is required for people who work with un-packaged food, food utensils, food equipment, and surfaces which contact food.
California restaurants, cafes, pubs, bars, food trucks, street vendors,mobile food carts, and others need food handler training. For exemptions of those who do not need food handling training please check the California Food Code PDF
Note: Venues that sell prepackaged food generally do not require food manager or food handler training.
