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.
In North Dakota, earning a Food Handler Card requires completing a food safety training course accredited by the ANAB. The course teaches key principles such as food hygiene, proper handling techniques, contamination prevention, and strategies to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses. 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 done entirely online and is available 24/7. After finishing the 1.5-hour course, you’ll take a 40-question final exam. You’ll need a score of at least 70% to pass and earn your certificate.
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.
The Food Handler Card is accepted throughout all counties in North Dakota, including significant areas like Cass County.

great info
Clear, engaging educational videos with good repeated emphasis on the most important points.
I learned a lot of useful information. The only real issue that I had with this course was with the exam, where I felt like a couple of the questions were structured confusingly (i.e., deeming only one answer as correct while another or more of the choices were technically also correct). Nonetheless, the information was presented very clearly.
Easy to understand and follow, very informative!
good
It’s saying we should all change gloves every 4 hours between tasks. After doing dirty jobs with the gloves on or if the glove rips, we all wash our hands first and then put on new gloves. Not only that, I knew that chicken is supposed to be cooked at a higher temperature then beef, steak, and salmon. temperature danger zone, food cools down for more than 4 hours. Reheating is not gonna do ANYTHING. A crumb on the floor brings bugs and when there’s bugs, the foods are being contaminated again and it’s biological hazard. When we wash hands 20, turn off the faucet with your elbow or turn off the faucet with the paper towel and then air dry and use your feet to kick open the push door or use the paper towel to pull the door open. Chicken, beef, fish, and salmon should be WAY WAY below the ready to eat foods. COMPLETELY AT THE BOTTOM. Food should be stored 6 in off the ground. Everything in this world have germs, Your phone has germs, Cash has germs, anything. I can’t describe which thing has the most germs. We can do all to prevent it from spreading. No matter how delicious it looks, if you eat food from the floor, it’s biological hazard. So I learned 65% of it
This class was very helpful in preparing me to open up my business. I would recommend it to anyone who is planning on opening up a business in food or bev. They modules are easy to follow and the course makes it easy to leave and pick up where you left off if you are are busy person!
Very informative
