The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) has based the state’s food safety regulations on the 2022 FDA Food Code, which does not mandate food handler training. While the MSDH does not require food handlers to earn a food handler card, completing this training can enhance your skills and strengthen your resume.

Can I use this training to meet Mississippi’s requirements for manager training?

No, the MSDH requires managers to complete an approved food management training course, such as Trust20’s Food Protection Manager Training, as part of the certification process. Food handler training broadly covers the essentials of food safety, whereas our food manager course covers a broader range of topics and delves deeper into management skills.
