Wyoming Food Handlers Permit Guide

In the state of Wyoming there are no state or county regulations in place that require an individual to receive a food handlers permit.

It is important to keep in mind though, that some employers or restaurant managers will require food handlers to complete training regardless of state jurisdiction.

The only certification the state of Wyoming requires is for a food manager.

Wyoming Food Manager Certification and Training

As of January 1, 2019, Wyoming requires that every establishment preparing foods must have a Certified Manager on premises.

So although a Wyoming food handlers permit may not be required for employees, it may be in your best interest to receive and pass the test for  Food Manager Training.

Not only will this help you during your job application, but it will make you a safer and more well rounded employee.

1. 360training: Learn2Serve Food Protection Manager Certification Program
2. AboveTraining/StateFoodSafety: Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) Exam
3. National Registry of Food Safety Professionals: Food Protection Manager Certification Program, International Certified Food Safety Manager
