Food Handlers Medical Test

The health checkup for food handlers should include the following:

Medical history: The food handler should provide a complete medical history, including any previous or current illnesses, surgeries, allergies, or medications.

Physical examination: The food handler should undergo a physical examination to check for any visible signs of illness or disease.

Laboratory tests: The food handler should undergo laboratory tests to check for any infections or diseases that may be transmitted through food.

Immunization: The food handler should be up to date with all necessary immunizations recommended by the FSSAI.

Food handlers who do not meet these health requirements are not to be allowed to work in a food business. It is the responsibility of the food business owner to ensure that all food handlers have undergone the necessary health checkup and meet the FSSAI’s health requirements.
