Understanding Ohio Level 1 Food Safety Requirements

The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) requires all food facilities to have a certified Person in Charge present during all hours of operation. This Level 1 certification serves as the foundation for safe food handling practices within the state. It covers essential topics such as identifying foodborne illnesses, proper handwashing techniques, and the importance of maintaining food at safe temperatures.
