Maricopa County no longer requires food employees to bring their training certificates, obtained online, to a county facility to obtain a “food service worker card.” However, the county still requires that all food employees receive food safety training. The person in charge of a food establishment is responsible for ensuring that food employees are properly trained and that food employee training documentation is maintained at the establishment.
What type of food employee training documentation am I expected to maintain at my establishment?
- A valid certificate of completion from an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited food handler training course.
- A valid food employee certificate, or identification card, issued by another county within the State of Arizona.
- A valid limited use food employee certificate or fee waived food employee certificate issued by Maricopa County Environmental Services Department. The Department may issue limited use food employee certificates, to reasonably accommodate a person with a disability, and/or fee waived food employee certificates, for establishments that qualify for charitable or nonprofit status.
When will inspectors ask to see my food employee training documentation?
Maricopa County inspectors will conduct audits of food employee training documentation when one or more Priority (P) violations, of the same code reference, are documented on consecutive inspections. Food employee training documentation audits may also be performed, at the inspector’s discretion, when other repetitive or serious health code violations are documented or when lack of Active Managerial Control is observed.
For information regarding food employee training and approved food employee testing providers, visit the Food Employees tab, on the Food & Restaurants page of our website, at https://www.maricopa.gov/5114/Food-Restaurants.
