Who is required to have one?

As of July 1, 1996, all restaurant employees and other commercial food establishment employees are required to obtain Food Handler Certification cards.

What does the test entail?

Cards are issued after completion of a food handler test, which covers key critical control point procedures for preparing, handling, holding, and storage of foods. The class consists of a 30 minute video and a 20 question multiple choice test that requires a passing score of 75%. Successful completion of the test earns a Food Handler Certification card that is accepted anywhere in the State of Oregon and is valid for 3 years

How much does it cost?

The fee for taking this test is $10. We will also need to see some form of ID, such as an Oregon Drivers License or Oregon ID Card.

How can I get a Food Handler Card?

The live class can be taken at the Tillamook County Health Department. The Food Handler Class is available at almost any time during normal business hours. Please call to schedule an appointment: 503-842-3943. 

If you would like to have a class for a group of 12 or more, contact Morgan at 503-842-3909.

You can also take the class online through Lane Community College.

Can I prepare ahead of time?

Sure! You can prepare for the test by reading the Food Handlers Manual:
