Education is the best tool to prevent, minimize, or eliminate foodborne illnesses and food hazards.
Training helps reduce or eliminate food safety hazards before they become major issues.
Reducing food safety complaints will create a happier workplace and in turn increase productivity.
Arizona law requires that each food establishment have at least one Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) who has passed an exam from a nationally accredited food manager certification program through the ANAB and the Conference for Food Protection (CFP). AAA Food Handler offers these accredited programs along with basic food handler training for employees.
Most Arizona counties require food employees to earn a valid food handler card, but beyond compliance, the training helps protect public health. If you handle unpackaged food, knowing proper food safety practices is critical to preventing foodborne illness and protecting your employer’s reputation.
The CDC reported 24 foodborne disease outbreaks in Arizona in 2015, 20 in 2016, and 10 in 2017—a clear decline. By practicing what you learn in food handler training, you play an important role in keeping those numbers down and ensuring safer dining experiences for your customers.
A Food Handler card focuses on basic hygiene, safe food temperatures, and cross-contamination prevention. A Food Protection Manager Certification covers advanced topics such as HACCP principles, employee training, and regulatory compliance. AAA Food Handler provides both, so your entire team can meet Arizona’s standards.
While allergen training is not mandated by the state, it is considered best practice in the Arizona food service industry. AAA Food Handler’s allergen awareness course helps staff identify the top eight allergens and prevent cross-contact, protecting customers with dietary restrictions.
Yes. AAA Food Handler provides 100% online Food Safety Certification programs for both Food Managers and Food Handlers, including the option to take the ANAB accredited exam remotely.
Your Food Protection Manager Certification is valid for five years in Arizona. Renewal requires retaking an ANAB and Conference for Food Protection (CFP) accredited exam.
In Arizona, the person in charge of a food establishment must be able to show knowledge of foodborne illness prevention and safe handling practices. While statewide law doesn’t always require a Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) credential, earning one is a strong way to prove compliance.
Local jurisdictions may impose stricter rules. For instance, Maricopa County requires at least one CFPM to be on staff and available during all hours of operation, either in person or by phone/electronic communication.
With over 10 years of experience in food handler, food manager, and allergen safety education, AAA Food Handler delivers training that meets state and county health department requirements while holding ANAB accredited credentials.
