In addition to the regular Food Handler and Food Manager training classes held at the Kansas City, Missouri Health Department (KCHD), the City of Kansas City, MO, has partnered with two firms to provide online training for hourly food handlers. You only need to complete the training through one of them to be eligible for a food handler card.
Anyone who handles food prepared or served to the public should attend a food safety course. Under the current Food Code, food establishments may choose one of two options:
- A certified food service operations manager must be present in the food service area and on duty at all times of business operations, and must present a food manager permit or card to the authorized regulatory authority inspector at the time of inspection, or
- For food service operations where no manager is certified, 80 percent of required food handler staff shall obtain a three-year food handler card from KCHD either upon completion of the food handler course through KCHD or upon KCHD’s approval of a comparable food handler permit or card from another provider.
Establishments must select one of the two options above; they may not alternate between them.
