FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

While Nebraska does not mandate a food handler course at the state level, many employers and counties strongly encourage or require it. Always check with your local health department or employer for specific requirements.

The Course covers essential food safety practices, including:

  • Proper hygiene and handwashing
  • Safe food temperatures and storage
  • Cleaning and sanitizing procedures
  • Cross-contamination prevention
  • Foodborne illness prevention

To get a Nebraska Food Handlers Card, you must complete an accredited food safety course program approved by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) or recognized by the ANAB.

A Food Handler Card from an ANAB accredited program is accepted in Lancaster County and the City of Lincoln. Still, local regulations require all food establishment employees to obtain a food handler permit issued by the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD).

You must complete a food safety course that is either ANAB accredited or approved by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. These courses are available online for your convenience.

Our course is fully approved and accredited for Nebraska and is recognized in all counties, including Douglas and Lancaster.

The course is approximately 1.5 hours long and can be completed at your own pace. You may start, pause, and resume anytime.

The course includes a 40-question final exam. You’ll need a 70% or higher to pass and have two chances to take it at no extra cost.

You will immediately receive a downloadable Nebraska food handler certificate to show proof of course for employment or inspections.

The food handler course is 100% online and accessible 24/7 on any device, making it easy to train whenever and wherever it’s convenient.

The course is available in both English and Spanish to accommodate diverse workforces.

This course is ideal for those working in:

  • Restaurants and cafés
  • Bakeries and dessert shops
  • Catering and food trucks
  • Grocery and retail food stores
  • Hospitals, schools, and long-term care facilities

The course is affordable at $6.95, with options for group pricing as well.

You’ll have full access to all course content for 3 months, giving you time to study or review whenever you like.

Nebraska allows the sale of non-potentially hazardous foods, including:

  • Baked goods (without cream or custard)
  • Jams, jellies, fruit preserves, and fruit butters
  • Dry mixes (e.g., cake, bread, pancake, and cookie mixes)
  • Granola
  • Honey
  • Certain candies and confections

All products must be shelf-stable and not require refrigeration.

Nebraska does not mandate food safety certification for cottage food operators. However, it is highly recommended that a food safety training program be completed to ensure that food is prepared and handled correctly. This not only ensures food safety but can also enhance consumer confidence in your products.

In depth and hard

November 18, 2025

I loved how In depth it all is, it really makes you feel like your in a college class, and the final exam too. They ask questions that aren’t on the surface level, but important & most importantly, non-ludicrous questions that actually make sense & are difficult.

Comprehensive and Essential Food Safety Knowledge

November 18, 2025

The exam provided a comprehensive review of essential food safety practices, covering critical topics necessary for a food handler certification.

The questions focused heavily on temperature control (TCS foods, cooling, reheating, and receiving temperatures, e.g., 135∘F for hot receiving, and the 4-hour danger zone limit).

It reinforced personal hygiene requirements, such as the 20-second handwashing minimum, proper wound covering, and the use of barriers like tongs for ready-to-eat foods.

The exam clearly differentiated between the different types of hazards, including the difference between biological hazards (like undercooked chicken) and physical hazards (like hair).

A particularly relevant detail was the emphasis on the dangers of toxins, which are not eliminated by cooking, and the critical importance of avoiding cross-contamination.

Overall, the exam is highly effective in testing the necessary knowledge for maintaining a safe food service environment.
