The Ontario Health Protection and Promotion Act 493/17, Food Premises Section 32 states that:

“There is at least one food handler or supervisor on the premise who has completed food handler training during every hour in which the premise is operating.”

With our training and certification, food handlers will understand how to properly handle food in various food service premises, learn essential food safety skills to prepare food safely, meet public health unit requirements, and prevent foodborne illnesses.

Employers value certified food handlers for protecting customers, maintaining safe food handling practices, and providing excellent customer service in their establishments.
