Food Safety

Protocols for Food Service under California 4-H Policy requires that at least one 4-H volunteer serving food at an event must complete the ServSafe training. This does not apply to snacks or pre-packaged food items served at 4-H meetings or activities.

The ServSafe Food Handler California Online Course and Assessment has a fee of $15. It is suggested that the 4-H Club/Unit reimburse the 4-H volunteer for the cost of the course.

The ServSafe certified 4-H volunteer can train additional food servers using the Clover Safe Note: #66 Food Safety at 4-H Meetings.

Don't forget to submit a Fundraising Approval Form if you will be preparing food for a fundraiser.
