California Senate Bill 602 requires all Fresno restaurant food handlers to obtain an ANSI-accredited food handler card within 30 days of hire and keep it current every three years.
Under California Health and Safety Code §113948, all employees who prepare, store, or serve food in Fresno restaurants must obtain a California Food Handler Card from an ANSI-accredited provider within 30 days of hire. Cards are valid for three years. Restaurant owners must keep records on-site and produce them on demand during Fresno County Environmental Health inspections. Each food facility must also have a Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) per H&S Code §113947.1. Approved providers include ServSafe, StateFoodSafety, and Learn2Serve, and the test typically costs $7-$15.
Operating without required cards subjects the establishment to inspection violations, administrative fines, and possible permit suspension. Repeat violations trigger escalating fines up to $1,000 per occurrence.
