Nutrition Counselors
The State of Florida no longer issues new licenses for Nutrition Counselor. Those persons licensed in this profession were licensed under a grandfather clause which closed in 1997. There is no longer an avenue to become licensed in the State of Florida as a Nutrition Counselor. The license must be kept active or on a paid inactive status as any Nutrition Counselor license which becomes null and void is ineligible for renewal or submission of a new application.
