Is there mandatory foodhandler training in San Diego?
Yes, San Diego County Code requires all foodhandlers to possess either a valid foodhandler card issued by a county-authorized food handler training school or a County of San Diego foodhandler test administered by the current food safety manager who has passed a state-approved food safety certification exam. Also, California state law requires that each food facility must have at least one owner/ employee that has passed a state-approved food safety certification exam. A list of authorized food handler training schools is available on our “Publications” page or by dialing one of the numbers listed below.
