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.

This coarse was to the point & easy to use. I like that it can be paused, rewatched or completed all at once.
Good and informative course.
I really enjoyed it, it was so knowledgeable & Interesting!
This course was highly helpful and touched based on many topics about the food industry. I appreciated how informative the course was. I will definitely recommend this course to other. Plus it was at a reasonable cost too.
Bueno y conveniente
It would be helpful to have the option to rewind each module instead of starting all the way over. The material moves fast, and if you miss something, you need to start that section (sometimes a few minutes long) all over again. A time bar and rewinding would help make the course more accessible.
