Frequently Asked Questions

How do you get a food handlers card in New Mexico?

Does New Mexico require a food handlers card?

New Mexico requires a food handler card within 30 days of hire if you are involved in food preparation, storage, or handling.

This includes:

  • restaurants
  • delis
  • food trucks
  • coffee shops
  • bars
  • healthcare facilities

Conversely, New Mexico doesn’t require a food handler card if (1):

  • you possess a valid Certified Food Protection Manager certification
  • you handle non-time-temperature control for safety (TCS) food, such as shelf-stable foods and unprepared or uncut fruits and vegetables
  • you occasionally work or volunteer as a food handler (restaurant hosts, teachers assisting with family-style dining, and nurses or therapists assisting patients with eating)
  • you work as a food handler at temporary events

However, if you fall into one of these exemptions, you must still receive food safety training from your manager or designated individual.

This training can include a food handler training course.

Under New Mexico’s cottage food law, you must complete an ANAB-accredited food handler course before you can sell homemade goods. This course meets New Mexico’s food safety training requirements for cottage food businesses.

Your FoodSafePal food handler card will be valid throughout New Mexico, no matter your county or city.

How long is a food handlers card good for in New Mexico?
