FOOD HANDLER TRAINING PROGRAM
All food workers in San Diego County must be trained in food safety. There are separate requirements for
foodhandlers and food safety certification. A food handler is a person employed by a permitted food business
who is involved in the preparation, storage, service, or handling of food products or utensils, according to
section 61.201 of the County Code, including those that scoop ice, wash dishes, or handle utensils.
FOOD HANDLER CARDS / TESTS
All food handlers are required by San Diego County Code to possess either a valid food handler card issued
by a county-authorized food handler training school or a County of San Diego food handler test administered
by the current food safety manager who has passed a state-approved food safety certification exam.
The Foodhandler courses are taught by foodhandler training schools that are authorized by the County.
In addition, courses are now approved to complete food handler training solely online. The County monitors
the training schools for course content and consistency. Please contact the food handler schools directly for
course locations and information. If there are any questions or problems with the training schools, please
contact our Foodhandler Training Coordinator. Food handler cards are valid for three years and can be
renewed by taking an exam and paying a renewal fee at one of the Department of Environmental Health office
locations, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Please bring picture
identification and the expired foodhandler card. (NOTE: County Office renewals will discontinue as of
January 1st, 2015. Training and testing must be retaken every three years through an approved Food
Handler School.)

FOOD SAFETY MANAGER CERTIFICATION (FSM CERT)
In addition to the County's foodhandler training requirement there is also a state requirement for a certified
food safety manager. State law requires each food facility to have at least one owner/employee that has
passed a state-approved food safety certification exam. Each certification is applicable to only one facility.
These certificates are valid for 5 years and must be renewed. There are four approved exams that meet the
state-required food safety certification requirement: ServSafe, Experior, 360training and National Registry of
Food Safety Professionals. Please contact them directly for course locations and information.
