As food workers, you have an important role in food safety. Washington State law requires you to be trained in food safety and to pass a test that shows you understand how to keep food safe.
Whatcom County provides training and testing at the Whatcom County Health Department. When you pass the food handler test, we will give you a food handler card that must be posted at your workplace. The cost of the training, test, and food handler card is $10, payable by check, cash or money order only. You will be required to show valid picture ID.
When you arrive for the test, you will watch a 22 minute video prior to taking the test. The test is available in English, Spanish, Korean, Russian, Chinese and Vietnamese. The video is available in English, Spanish and Korean.
