Under Chapter 2-102.11 of the 2005 FDA Food Code, every food handler/manager must be trained in food safety. 

The course must be taken within ninety days after the employment starts. Training is conveniently offered online only.  It is important to use Google or Google Chrome as the internet browser.  Please select the link to complete the required training:  https://ky-muhchd.statecert.com/register

Failure to abide by the 2005 FDA Food Code requirement will result in legal action in accordance with Kentucky Revised Statute 217.992 against the permitted facility. A wavier is available for those employees who can show proof of training whether at their facility or another food safety course, (ex. SafeServe).
