Yes. The AAA Food Handler program meets food safety requirements outlined in CFR § 483.60, making it an approved choice for healthcare kitchens, long-term care facilities, hospitals, and dietary service operations throughout Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania food managers must adhere to regulations modeled after the FDA Food Code, ensuring they maintain safe food handling, sanitation practices, and supervisory oversight in food establishments statewide.

In Pennsylvania, compliance is verified by requiring food establishments to employ Certified Food Protection Managers who have earned certification through an ANAB accredited program, following FDA Food Code principles.

Pennsylvania’s food safety regulations closely follow the FDA Food Code, requiring food establishments to have at least one Certified Food Protection Manager to oversee proper food handling and sanitation practices.

Yes. With AAA Food Handler, you can complete both the food manager training and the certification exam 100% online. The exam is remotely proctored to maintain security and meet ANAB accreditation standards.

The Gold Package offers comprehensive training and exam preparation. The Diamond Package includes a one-time free retest for added security.

In Pennsylvania, food establishments licensed by the state must have at least one staff member who holds a certified food protection manager (CFPM) credential. This certification is essential for demonstrating knowledge of proper food safety practices.

Exceptions apply to certain low-risk operations,such as those selling only sealed, prepackaged items—and some nonprofit organizations.

The certified manager doesn’t need to be present during all business hours but must be reachable at all times the facility is operating. Each certified individual may only be designated for one location.

To earn certification, candidates must pass an exam from an ANSI-CFP accredited program, like the one provided by AAA Food Handler.

It’s also important to know that several counties in Pennsylvania oversee their own food safety manager regulations. These include:

  • Allegheny County

  • Bucks County

  • Chester County

  • Montgomery County

  • Philadelphia County

  • State College Borough

If your business falls under one of these jurisdictions, be sure to consult the local health department to confirm accepted training providers and specific guidelines.

I took tons of notes because I didn’t know you’d give us the workbook at the end. I guess I didn’t need to take all these notes because that aspect of it was stressful to me, however, I’m glad I did because it makes retaining the information better. This information is very important and it’s great knowledge to have if you work in this business.
