Food Safety Training Requirement

All HBVs must obtain a food handler certificate from a certificate issuer that is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). There are several companies who offer training courses that meet this requirement, including in-person course offerings through Purdue Extension. Please contact your local health department for additional information on other approved certificate issuers.

All food products produced by HBVs must include the following information visible on each product:

• The name and address of the producer
• The common or usual name of the food product

• The net weight or volume of the food product by standard measure or numerical count

Inspections

While HBVs are not subject to routine inspections or product sampling, local health departments have authority to inspect production sites, if they have cause, such as receiving a consumer complaint or if a food product is misbranded or adulterated.
