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.

It is what it is
Very informative and well documented.
The course was long but surprisingly enjoyable, learnt a lot of information which I took for granted before.
Clear and easy to understand lessons on food safety and handling protocols. Test was a breeze upon completion of the modules.
I found the videos very informing and enlightening
The training provides a lot of ways to be clean when working with foods and also teaches you alot about bacteria and how to prevent it from spreading.
I think that a few of the questions could have been less targeted at specific recollection pieces, especially the ones where I was being told to classify certain things, as I feel like they are not as applicable in a real world situation.
Easy and fast.
I found the course very knowledgeable and interesting
Very helpful and engaging.
well explained course with interactive questions for consolidating knowledge

Excellent course!

Es largo pero hay que prestar atención pero se me hizo fácil y educativo
Excellent course with emphasis on important items
I found the AAA training through the Dept of ABC’s website, as AAA was a recommended vendor.
The training sessions seemed to be greatly outdated, with clunky graphics and awkward slide transitions. The platform doesn’t appear to have been updated since prior to 2023. It would be helpful if the platform would allow trainees to back up 15 seconds or so to review information, instead the module needs to start over.
When a question is answered incorrectly, the platform doesn’t explain what the correct answer is or why, it moves directly to the next question. This doesn’t allow for enhanced learning.
At one point, a slide was suddenly in Spanish, despite still clearly being in English mode.
The “narrator” routinely mispronounced words such as “conTRACTors” instead of contractors, “aTEEvan” instead of Ativan, and “OONaformaty” instead of uniformity. This was highly distracting and should be corrected.
i learned a lot
