Approval
This California Food Handler Card training course holds the ANSI food handler training program accreditation (ASTM e2659-2015) and is approved for use in the state of California.

Purpose
The purpose of the food handlers card training program is to prepare food handlers to enter the workforce by providing the required food safety information as specified by regulations of the workers' state or local government.

  • Identify how to keep the hands, body and attire clean to protect food and food-contact surfaces from contamination. 
  • Recognize populations that are highly susceptible to foodborne illness and symptoms and illnesses that must be reported to a manager.
  • Identify time and temperature control methods and requirements to prevent bacterial growth in food. 
  • Identify processes and procedures necessary for maintaining a clean and sanitary work environment.

What is the difference between a certificate and a certification?
A certificate program is a training program combined with an assessment. Successful participants in these programs receive a certificate, not a certification. A certification program is an exam that yields a certification to individuals who pass. Certification programs do not include a formal training component, although training may be used to prepare. For example, anyone who passes the California food handler course and test will get a California food handlers certificate. Anyone who passes the Food Protection Manager Certification Exam will get a food manager certification valid in California.
Do I need a California Food Handlers Card?
If you are a food handler in California, you are required to complete a food safety course that is approved for use in California. Completing an approved food handlers certificate course will award you with a California Food Handlers Card. A food handler is someone who handles, prepares, serves, sells, or gives away food for human consumption.
Is the California Food Handlers Card training and test approved for my area?
This training and test is approved for use throughout California. However, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, San Diego County and Siskiyou County have additional requirements for their areas.
Is this course equivalent to the ServSafe Food Handler California course?
Yes! The StateFoodSafety California Food Handlers Card course has been ANSI accredited and approved by the state of California, and is therefore legally equivalent to all other accredited, approved California food handler courses, such as the course offered by ServSafe.
How long can I access the course?
When you purchase a StateFoodSafety course, you automatically get one year of unlimited access to the training videos. Take your time through the course or come back after completion to brush up on your food safety knowledge!
