Numerous professionals nationwide have already earned and renewed their card with AAA Food Handler — a trusted name in food safety training.
In North Dakota, earning a Food Handler Card requires completing a food safety training course accredited by the ANAB.

It also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clean and sanitary kitchen environment. This course complies with state regulations and is mandatory for individuals working with food in restaurants, catering companies, and other food service operations.
To receive a North Dakota Food Handlers Card, take and pass a food safety course accredited by the ANAB. Once completed, you’ll receive a recognized card throughout the state.

The Food Handler course is perfect for individuals in the food industry, whether you work in a restaurant, café, grocery store, food truck, or concession stand. It’s designed for anyone involved in preparing or serving food.
The Food Handler Course costs just $6.95. Discounts are available for businesses looking to train multiple employees at once.
You can take the Food Handler Certificate in English or Spanish.
No worries—you get two attempts to pass the exam. You’ll have another chance if you fail the first time.

A lot of things to remember like cooking temps, pathogens, etc. Wish there was a training more geared toward mobile food trailers and less restaurant.
Gave me a foundation to build on
Very insightful course!
In my personal opinion I had no problem with the information as it was readily presented, my issue was with several videos presented there was no option to turn on closed captioning of the narration which I found irritating taking the test at work with ambient noise in the bathroom. also not bolding keywords for a negative question did trip me up. If that how the questions are presented during the real exam, I myself will be more careful.
Very Informative. Good information for anyone in the food industry.
great presentation
