    Is food handler training required in South Carolina?

    It depends on where you work.

    South Carolina does not require all food workers to be certified at the state level, but many employers, cities, and counties do—especially in high-tourism areas like Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and Greenville.

    Bottom line: Even if it’s not a legal mandate, most food establishments require food handler training within 30 days of hire.
