New Employee Health Policy Tool

The new Employee Health Policy Tool from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is designed to help users navigate employee illness restriction and exclusion requirements from the 2022 Food Code based on roles and symptoms or diagnoses to prevent transmission of foodborne viruses and bacteria in food establishments.

The PDF based tool can be downloaded for easy access from any electronic device. It is designed for food industry professionals, health inspectors, and trainers.

For questions about specific employee health policy provisions in the 2022 Food Code, please see Part 2-201 or contact your FDA Retail Food Specialist.
