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.
Numerous professionals nationwide have already earned and renewed their card with AAA Food Handler — a trusted name in food safety training.
The Delaware Food Handlers Card is awarded after completing a state-recognized food safety training program accredited by ANAB. This course educates food service employees on critical safety practices, including proper food handling, hygiene standards, preventing cross-contamination, minimizing foodborne illnesses, and maintaining cleanliness. It also addresses regulations specific to Delaware. Obtaining this card is essential for individuals working in food preparation, service, or storage roles in restaurants, mobile food units, cafeterias, and similar establishments throughout the state.
There is no difference—Both terms refer to the document you receive after completing a recognized food safety course. Some counties or employers may refer to it as a “card,” but the certificate serves the same purpose—it proves you’ve completed an approved food safety course.
To get started with your Food Handler Certificate, select your state under the Food Handler tab, then click “Purchase English” or “Purchase Spanish.” Create your profile, complete the payment, and you can begin the course immediately.
After completing the course and passing the final assessment, you’ll receive a Delaware Food Handler Certificate. This document verifies that you have been trained in key food safety concepts and practices, and it can be shown to employers or health inspectors when required.
The course takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete. It’s self-paced, so you can log in and out at your convenience.
Once enrolled, you’ll have full access to the Delaware Food Handler Course materials for 3 months for Food Handler and 1 year for Food Manager. That means you can review and study the content whenever it’s convenient for you.
Employers can take advantage of our bulk purchase options with discounted pricing. Once purchased, courses can be easily assigned to staff members. Managers also gain access to a centralized dashboard to track employee progress, manage certifications, and generate detailed reports for compliance and Course oversight.
You’ll have two attempts to pass the final exam at no additional cost. If you fail on your first try, you can review the course material and retake the test when ready.
To get your Delaware Food Handler Card, complete a course accredited by the ANAB. After finishing the course and passing the exam, you’ll receive a valid Food Handler Card accepted across the state
This course is approved and accredited by ANAB to meet Delaware’s food safety standards. It is recognized for use throughout the state, including New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties, and aligns with all required guidelines for the Food Handler certificate.
Holding a Delaware food handler card shows you how to safely handle, prepare, and serve food. It helps reduce the risk of foodborne illness and ensures you meet state compliance requirements for employment in restaurants and other food service settings.
Non-potentially hazardous foods like baked goods (without cream or custard), jams, jellies, candies, dry mixes, and granola. These must be shelf-stable and not require refrigeration.
The AAA Food Handler Card meets the food safety training requirement for Delaware’s Cottage Food Law, provided the course is accredited by the ANAB. The Delaware Division of Public Health recognizes this certification as meeting the necessary training requirements for cottage food operators.

I like all the examples and questions at the end of each section. Very well explained and I’m a visual person so all the background, pictures, and info kept the training more entertaining.
I knew a lot but I learned a lot as well. Very Interesting!
Good course. Could be quicker between modules.
Very informational
The coursework was great! I really appreciated commitment to representation in the examples given during the course. The only issue I ran into is I think once or twice there were questions on one of the review exams that were about topics that were covered in the next section.
User friendly and helpful
This was very informative, but not overwhelming. The quizzes help to solidify the information.
I thought the house was way to use. I like how it had practice questions as you went along.

This is a great training method. The information is broken up into manageable pieces. Easy to understand and very thorough.
This course was quite informative and easy to work through.
Love this training course. It was very useful and helped me learn food safety.
The course itself is fine however the test is where I take issue. A possible answer for one of the questions is, “bacteria __20 minutes__ can multiple every day.” This not grammatically correct and is confusing. At least two questions/answers had horrible wording and should certainly be reviewed. Afterall, we’re paying for an accredited course, grammar shouldn’t be an obstacle.
This course was simple and quick to understand.
I found it very comprehensive and educational.
Very informative
It was very helpful and I learned a lot from these courses.
Super informative and helpful.
Pretty straight forward.
Great course, will definitely recommend to friends and family.
I am currently looking for a job and this platform made it very easy to get my certificate so I can add to my resume. Was able to finish under 3 hours.
I was pretty good I guess.
It was very easy and straightforward. Some of the sections could be together to shorten the course but overall can’t complain
