Does Wisconsin Require a Food Handler Card?

No — Wisconsin doesn’t have a state food handler law, but some counties and many employers require anyone who handles food or works around food-contact surfaces to get a food handler card, usually within 30 days of starting the job. This video explains who needs one, how to get it online, and how to renew it before it expires — all with FoodSafePal.

To get or renew your Wisconsin food handler card, just complete the training videos and pass the test. The entire process takes about 90 minutes from start to finish. Your card will be issued instantly after you pass.

Wisconsin has no law that requires a food handler card to work at a food establishment.

However, many Wisconsin food establishments have a strong commitment to food safety and still require their workers to hold a valid food handler card.

Additionally, Wisconsin nursing homes and other healthcare facilities commonly rely on food handler training for their dietary staff to meet state requirements.

For example, Wisconsin requires that dietary staff at nursing homes receive regular educational training on the proper handling of food and personal hygiene and grooming (1).

An issued food handler card can serve as proof of this education.

Besides it being required by some Wisconsin food establishments, earning your food handler card can make it easier to land your next gig or earn a higher wage.

Your FoodSafePal food handler card will be valid throughout Wisconsin.

Your Wisconsin food handler card will be issued digitally as soon as you pass the exam. You can download, print, or email it anytime by logging into your account. If you’d like a professionally printed copy mailed to you, you can order one directly from your account.

Your Wisconsin food handler card is valid for three years from the date you earn it.

Wisconsin has no law requiring food handler training before opening a cottage food business. However, this training is highly recommended as it increases customer’s trust, expands selling opportunities, and may lower insurance costs. Learn more about Wisconsin’s cottage food law here.
