The closest rule we found
The operator of a food establishment shall ensure that either a person in charge or a certified food protection manager, as specified in 18 AAC 31.325, is employed and present at all times during hours of operation and is responsible for (1) identifying hazards in the daily operation of the food establishment; (2) developing and implementing policies and procedures to prevent foodborne illness; (3) training employees about the requirements of this chapter; (4) directing food preparation activities and corrective actions, as needed, to protect the health of the consumer; and (5) monitoring daily operations on a periodic basis to ensure that food safety policies and procedures are followed.18 AAC 31.320(a)
- What it means
- 18 AAC 31.330(g) defines "food worker" as "an individual working with unpackaged food, potentially hazardous food, or food-contact surfaces." Paragraph (g)(2) then excludes listed roles, among them "a delivery driver;" along with individuals whose activities are limited to those roles. This exempts delivery work from the card requirement. It says nothing about preparing drinks. A driver who also works with unpackaged food is arguably no longer limited to delivery, but that is a reading of the text, not an official interpretation.
