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

Montana has no law that requires a food handler card to work at a food establishment, but your employer may still require it.

Sanders County, however, requires foodservice workers to complete a four-hour food safety training course that is approved by the health department (1).

This training is not approved by Sanders County.
