Food Handler Card Information
A food handler card is required before any person may engage in the manufacture, preparation, serving or handling of food or drink in or around a food establishment in Salt Lake County.
A child care/preschool food handler card is required for employees in child care centers, preschools and other child group settings.
The general food handler card required for persons in other food establishments (restaurants) is not sufficient to meet the requirements for persons in child care facilities and preschools.
However, the Child Care Food Handler Card is acceptable for general food service (restaurant) workers.
