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.
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.
The Food Handler training helps prevent foodborne illnesses, enhances decision-making in food handling, and ensures proper safety protocols are followed. It also helps businesses reduce complaints and improve workplace morale.
Owners and managers can monitor employee performance, track course completions, and generate reports through the platform’s management tools.
ANAB accredits the Food Handler course and satisfies North Dakota’s food safety training requirements. It is accepted across all counties and cities, including Fargo, Bismarck, and Grand Forks.

North Dakota permits the sale of non-potentially hazardous foods such as baked goods, jams, jellies, preserves, honey, syrups, and certain canned goods. These items must be shelf-stable and not require refrigeration.
North Dakota does not require food safety training for cottage food producers. However, completing a Food Handler certificate is strongly recommended to ensure safe food handling practices and enhance consumer confidence. The North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services offers resources and guidance on food safety training options.

Was good
This course was very helpful and taught me a lot of information that I will need when starting a food business. However, as someone who learns through interacting with problems and questions, rather that just watching videos, I think I could have learned more if there were more problems and questions to answer throughout the videos.
Good but long
It was easy to do and fun to see Maria making weird faces

There is so much that goes into managing a restaurant. Getting trained in proper back and front of house food handling protocol is time consuming, but so necessary when it comes to wanting to provide your customers with the best service possible. Thank you!

muy buen curso
the class was very well put together and thank you for offering this online
the lady explains each session with full details. pictures and charts are very helpful
Thank you for the detailed, step by step training.
I appreciated the clear method of explaining requirements along with visual aide. This course helped me better understand the differences and correlation between biological, chemical, physical, and cross-contamination hazards. I wasn’t aware of all of the risks involved in the food service industry. Not only am I able to help create a safe environment for our food business, but am more aware of the conditions and potential risks while taking my family out to eat at other food establishments. I am grateful that standards, policy, and procedures have been put in place to help keep people safe. In addition, I appreciated the mini-quiz opportunities with the immediate feedback to help me better monitor my progress.
Very informative
It definitely went faster than I expected. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the course and learned a lot.

The training modules were informative and easy to follow, unlike the previous website that had me stuck answering one question that never seemed to be the right answer. I want to get my money back from them. It was unfair treatment.
Course layout was user friendly. Course content was easy to digest and provided in an extremely learnable fashion.
The video needs to be watched twice before changing chapter
it was good and long

Easy, and informative

Amazing training
Easy to follow

The course regularly repeats information, even if that information was shared only moments ago. It also features an uncomfortable AI voiceover alongside stock photos of a woman, supposedly the same person. The course spends a lot of time sharing redundant or unnecessary information, much of which is completely unrelated to the subject matter of the module or the course as a whole
Very good training course
