Do I need a food handler card or license to work in Georgia’s food industry?

No, the Georgia DPH does not require food handlers to earn a card, certificate, or license to work in a food establishment. However, certified food protection managers are responsible for ensuring their staff are properly trained, and food handler training courses can help ensure managers meet that requirement.

Can this training help me earn my food manager certification?
