Food Handlers Health Checks – Ensure Safe & Hygienic Food Practices
At PrognoHealth, we understand that the health and hygiene of food handlers directly impact food safety and public health. To support businesses in the food industry, we are proud to introduce our Food Handlers Health Checks service—a comprehensive health screening solution designed to meet FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) norms and ensure a safe, hygienic food handling environment.
Why Food Handlers Health Checks Matter
Food handlers play a crucial role in maintaining the safety and quality of the food being prepared, served, and distributed. Poor hygiene and undetected health issues can lead to food contamination, risking the health of consumers and damaging the reputation of food businesses.
Adhering to FSSAI guidelines is mandatory for all food businesses under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Non-compliance can lead to penalties or license cancellation.
Regular health checks minimize the risk of foodborne illnesses and enhance consumer confidence.
Ensuring your staff is healthy leads to improved productivity and reduced absenteeism.
What’s Included in Our Food Handlers Health Check?
Our Food Handlers Health Check is designed as per FSSAI guidelines and includes a comprehensive set of medical tests to detect communicable and non-communicable diseases, ensuring that food handlers are fit to handle food safely:
- General Health Examination – Assessment of overall health status
- Infectious Disease Screening – Tests for typhoid, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and other communicable diseases
- Blood Tests – Complete Blood Count (CBC), blood sugar, and liver function tests
- Oral Hygiene Check – Evaluation of dental health to prevent cross-contamination
Frequency of Health Checks as per FSSAI Guidelines
Annual Health Check – As per Schedule 4 of the Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses) Regulation, 2011, all food handlers are required to undergo a comprehensive medical examination at least once a year to ensure they are free from any infectious, communicable, or contagious diseases.
Health Record Maintenance – FSSAI mandates that businesses maintain detailed health records of food handlers, including test reports and vaccination records, for at least two years.
Mandatory Vaccination Requirements
As per FSSAI guidelines, certain vaccinations are mandatory for food handlers to prevent the spread of communicable diseases:
Typhoid Vaccine – To protect against typhoid fever caused by Salmonella bacteria
Frequency: Annually
Tetanus Vaccine – To protect against tetanus, which can occur due to cuts or injuries
Frequency: Every six months
Hepatitis B Vaccine – To prevent transmission of hepatitis B virus
Frequency: A series of three injections at intervals of 0, 1, and 6 months, repeated every three years
We ensure that all necessary vaccinations are administered and documented as part of the Food Handlers Health Check package.
