Study Guide for food workers
The study guide to help prepare you for the class and test to get your Food Worker Card.

IMPORTANT

Make at least two copies of your permit after you receive it!

Keep the original in your wallet or purse, keep a photocopy in your personal files at home or somewhere safe and give a photocopy to your employer. If you lose your original, you can use a photocopy as your backup permit until you need to renew it when it expires. If you don't make photocopies and you need a replacement, it will cost you $10 for a new one.

If you did not save a copy of your original, you can request a replacement permit.
