Arizona Food Handler Training
Learn how to handle, prepare, and serve food safely, no matter your work setting.
Learn about important food safety principles:
- identify how food becomes unsafe and leads to foodborne illnesses
- identify when and which symptoms and illnesses must be reported
- recognize proper hand hygiene techniques and good personal grooming habits to prevent food and food-contact surface contamination
- recognize best practices to keep food safe throughout its flow by using time and temperature controls
- describe how to maintain a clean environment and prevent cross-contact
Arizona has no law that requires a food handler card to work at a food establishment, but many counties require it.
Here are the Arizona counties that require a food handler card (1):
- Coconino
- Gila
- Greenlee
- La Paz
- Maricopa
- Mohave
- Pinal
- Santa Cruz
- Yavapai
- Yuma
These counties accept this training as it’s accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB).
If you live in a county that doesn’t require food handler training like Apache, Cochise, Graham, Navajo, or Pima, your employer may still require it, in part because Arizona strongly encourages it.
