- recognize best practices to keep food safe throughout its flow by using time and temperature controls

Connecticut has no law that requires a food handler card to work at a food establishment, but your employer may still require it.
Additionally, health care facilities like nursing homes and hospitals may require dietary staff to complete food handler training to meet the state’s specific in-service education requirements.
