Correct answer: C. 3 years

Correct. Under ORS 624.570, an Oregon food handler certificate of completion expires three years after the date of issuance.

• A: 1 year is shorter than the actual Oregon food handler card validity period.
• B: 2 years also understates the card's validity period.
• D: 5 years overstates the card's validity period; it is three years, not five.

Correct answer: A. Any person involved in the preparation or service of food in a facility licensed under ORS 624.020 or 624.320, including cooks, wait staff, dishwashers, and bus persons

Correct. ORS 624.570 requires any person involved in the preparation or service of food in a restaurant or food service facility licensed under ORS 624.020 or 624.320 to obtain a food handler card, covering roles such as cooks, wait staff, dishwashers, delivery drivers, and bus persons.

• B: The requirement is not limited to the owner; it applies broadly to workers involved in food preparation or service.
• C: The requirement is not limited to raw meat handlers; it covers a broad range of food preparation and service roles.
• D: The requirement applies to food handlers generally, not only to managers; a certified food protection manager credential serves a related but separate function.

Correct answer: B. 30 days

Correct. ORS 624.570 requires a food handler to successfully complete training and obtain a food handler card within 30 days after the date of hire.

• A: 7 days is shorter than the actual statutory window Oregon allows for new hires to obtain their card.
• C: 14 days also understates the allowed window under ORS 624.570.
• D: 90 days overstates the allowed window; the statutory deadline is 30 days.

Correct answer: D. Yes; a food handler card issued in any Oregon county is valid statewide

Correct. A food handler card issued by any local public health authority or the Oregon Health Authority in any county is valid throughout the entire state of Oregon.

• A: Requiring a separate card per county misstates Oregon's statewide reciprocity for food handler cards.
• B: There is no regional limitation on food handler card validity; it is valid statewide, not just within a public health region.
• C: Statewide validity does not depend on staying with the same employer or restaurant chain; the card travels with the individual across any Oregon employer.

Correct answer: A. Local public health authorities that have been delegated authority under ORS 624.510, with the Oregon Health Authority filling in for counties without delegated authority

Correct. Local public health authorities with delegated authority under ORS 624.510 must ensure food handler training programs are provided within their jurisdiction, and the Oregon Health Authority establishes and maintains these programs in counties without such delegated local authority.

• B: ODA regulates agricultural commodities and pesticides, not food handler card administration, which falls under the ORS 624 food service framework administered by OHA and local public health authorities.
• C: A trade association is not the government body responsible for ensuring the availability of food handler training programs, though private/third-party approved course providers deliver much of the actual training.
• D: The FDA sets the national Food Code model that informs state rules, but administering Oregon's food handler card program is a state and local public health function, not a direct FDA function.
