Quick answer

Under Regulation 30(1) of the Food Hygiene Regulations 2009, every food handler in Malaysia must attend a food handler training course at a school recognised by the Ministry of Health and hold the certificate. Regulation 31(1) also requires food handlers to be vaccinated against typhoid by a registered medical practitioner, renewed every three years. Operating without them can lead to compounds and, in serious cases, closure.

Overview

Anyone who prepares, handles or serves food in a food business is a food handler under Malaysian law — cooks, kitchen helpers, servers and, in many small outlets, the owners themselves.

The Food Hygiene Regulations 2009 set two personal requirements. Regulation 30(1) requires every food handler to complete a food handler training course at a training school recognised by the Ministry of Health; the course covers personal hygiene, food storage and temperature control, preventing cross-contamination, cleaning and pest control. Regulation 31(1) requires typhoid vaccination by a registered medical practitioner, renewed every three years.

These are checked in health inspections and are also conditions for council business licences for food premises, such as DBKL's. We register staff for the course and arrange vaccination so the whole team is compliant before opening or inspection. Vaccination is done at a clinic of your choice; we tell you exactly what is needed and track the renewal dates.

Who needs this
