How food handler rules work in Naperville
Illinois sets the food handler requirement statewide: every food employee needs ANSI-accredited training within 30 days of hire, with certificates good for 3 years under 410 ILCS 625. There's no separate Naperville-only card — an ANAB-accredited certificate like Fenix's satisfies the requirement throughout DuPage County.
The DuPage County Health Department permits and inspects thousands of food service facilities across the county, including Naperville, and publishes inspection reports online. Naperville also extends into a smaller slice of Will County, where the Will County Health Department is the inspecting authority instead — the training requirement itself doesn't change either way.
