Employee Foodhandler Training Requirements

Since 1997, the State of Florida has mandated that all foodservice workers be trained in food safety. The SafeStaff® Foodhandler Training Program is the contracted program of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) and contains the following six mandated key food safety principles:

1. Ensuring proper personal hygiene
2. Preventing cross-contamination
3. Controlling time and temperature when handling food
4. Proper cleaning and sanitizing
5. The causes and effects of major foodborne illnesses
6. Ensuring proper vermin control

Florida requires all food service employees in a licensed DBPR establishment to be trained on correct food handling and hygiene practices. Only DBPR division-approved training programs are accepted as meeting the training requirement.

DBPR enacted the current Food Employee Training requirements in 2001. Click here to see a copy of the Florida Statutes.

SafeStaff® Employee Foodhandler Program is DBPR’s contracted provider for employee food safety training.
