The Quebec Food Regulation outlines the details of the requirements food premises must abide by to ensure they are preventing health and safety hazards. It describes the minimum standards for cleaning and sanitizing, premise maintenance, pest control, temperature control, food handler hygiene and the various daily tasks in which food handlers are involved.

The Quebec Food Regulation also specifics the required amount of mandatory certification of food handlers and acts as a reference for Public Health Inspectors during business inspections.

What does the Quebec Regulation say about the Food Handlers Certificate?

Every operator of a food service establishment must hold a valid food handler certificate.

If the operator is not on-site, at least one employee with a valid food handler certificate must be present.

Otherwise, all food handlers at the premises must receive food safety training to a level appropriate to the activity that each employee performs.
