Food safety is a critical aspect of the food service industry, and one essential tool to ensure proper food safety is the Food Handler Card. This blog will discuss a Food Handler Certificate its necessity, and how to obtain one.
If you are a food handler, it is important to maintain high hygiene and safety standards while handling food. A food handler certification proves that you have completed and passed a training course on food safety and hygiene.
This card is required in many states in the USA, and food handlers must have this card in order to continue working in a restaurant or any other food-handling establishment.
Foodborne illnesses can severely affect a customer’s health and even be fatal.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) claim that one in six Americans get sick every year, and 3,000 die from foodborne illnesses. In addition to the health risks, foodborne illnesses can damage the reputation and financial stability of businesses serving contaminated food.
A Food Handler Certification ensures that food service employees understand the risks and best practices to prevent contamination.
Getting a Food Handler Card is easy and straightforward. Here are the steps.
Each state has its requirements for food handler cards. Before obtaining your card, it is important to research your state’s requirements. Make sure you understand the requirements for your state before proceeding.
Once you have reviewed your state’s requirements, the next step is to purchase the training course. Many options are available at AAA Food Handler, including an online self paced course accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Course Duration: 1.5 Hours
Choose a course approved by your state that fits your schedule and budget here.
After completing the training course, you must take an exam to demonstrate your food safety knowledge. The exam is administered online. It will cover temperature control, cross contamination, and personal hygiene topics. The passing score is 70%, and you have two chances to pass the final exam
If you pass the exam, you will immediately receive a certificate of completion. This certificate will be your food handler certification, showing that you have completed the required food safety training. You will receive a digital version that you can print or display on your phone.
Once you have received your food handler certification, it is important to keep it safe and easily accessible. You may need to show it to your employer or a health inspector anytime, so ensure it is with you when you are working.
In conclusion, obtaining a food handler certification is important in ensuring food safety and hygiene in the workplace. Foodborne illnesses can be prevented by taking the necessary precautions. Food handlers should undergo food safety training and obtain a Food Handler Card before handling food. Restaurant owners and managers should ensure their employees have Food Handler Certifications and follow food safety guidelines.

Nice
it was easy

Very Informative!
good training
Took twice as long as necessary because of all the clicking (literally every 10-30 seconds just to keep the training going, and then the next module takes several seconds to load), all over the screen (could at least put buttons next to each other for submitting a quiz answer and then advancing to next question)
