Food Safety Certification and Handler Card
FOOD SAFETY CERTIFICATION CLASSES
The Consumer Protection Team (CPT) offers a one day Food Certification Class. Food Facilities (except Temporary Facilities) doing any food preparation of potentially hazardous foods are required to have a minimum one person on staff, who has received Food Safety Certification.
This class can be taken through any accredited agency, however, the class is offered as a service to Placer County Residents through our office. To best serve our students, we have two locations for the Food Certification Class.
Classes may be attended in Auburn or Tahoe. It is offered approximately (4) times per year in Auburn and (2) times per year in Tahoe.
