Regulatory Information

While it is advisable for individuals throughout Virginia to consider food handler training, specific counties or municipalities, particularly in the southeastern part of the state, have made it a mandatory requirement. Norfolk serves as one example of a locality where such training is obligatory.

To ensure compliance with the specific requirements in your area, it is essential to communicate with your local health department or employer. Recognize that there may be constraints on where you can receive accredited training, making it important to understand these rules before enrolling in a class.

Beyond adhering to local regulations, certain employers may necessitate a food handler's card as a verification of your understanding of food safety practices. Alternatively, in some cases, employers may prioritize candidates with a license, as this signifies one less on-the-job training topic they need to address.
