    Serving food in the Garden State? Here’s what you need to know to stay compliant and confident in the kitchen.

    Is food handler training required by law in New Jersey?

    Not statewide—yet.

    The New Jersey Department of Health does not mandate food handler certification for all food workers at the state level. However, local health departments and employers often require it, especially in areas with stricter public health oversight like Newark, Jersey City, Atlantic City, and Trenton.

    In short: If you're handling food in New Jersey, getting certified is a smart move—and often expected.

    Here’s where food safety certification is commonly expected—or outright required:

    • Full-service restaurants, fast food, and cafés

    • Bars, grills, diners, and food trucks

    • Resorts, hotels, and beach lodges

    • Casinos and racetracks (yes, even hot dog stands at the track!)
