If you want to work in the food industry in Utah, state law requires all food employees to take an approved food handler training course. Beyond being a requirement, this training teaches you the essential practices to keep food safe and prevent the spread of foodborne illnesses.
Food safety is a serious concern in Utah. For example, the CDC has reported multiple foodborne outbreaks in the state over the years, with fluctuations between 10 and 24 outbreaks annually. By applying the safe handling practices you learn in training, you play a direct role in protecting customers and reducing these incidents.
Yes. The Utah Department of Health approves online training, and the AAA Food Handler program is designed to meet these standards. The online format allows food workers to complete their Utah food safety training on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
The Utah Food Service Sanitation Rule requires at least one Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) in every food service establishment. Passing an ANAB accredited Food Protection Manager Certification exam ensures that someone with supervisory authority can oversee compliance with Utah food safety codes.
In Utah, the food manager certification is valid for five years. Managers must retake and pass the accredited exam every three years to maintain compliance with Utah food safety regulations.
The AAA Food Handler allergen program focuses on the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It prepares Utah food workers to prevent cross-contact, recognize symptoms of allergic reactions, and apply safe practices that align with Utah food safety rules.
While not required by state law for every food worker, many Utah employers mandate allergen training to improve safety in their establishments. Having an allergen certificate demonstrates a higher standard of Utah food safety compliance.
Utah law requires food establishments to have at least one Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) with supervisory or management responsibilities on-site, as outlined in the Utah Food Service Sanitation Rule 2-102.12.
Under the Utah Food Safety Manager Certification Act, after completing an approved food manager certification program, you must provide proof of passing the exam to your local health department.
The Utah Department of Health recognizes several approved programs, including the ANSI-CFP accredited certification from AAA Food Handler.
Remember to keep your certification readily available at your establishment since health officers may request to review it at any time.

Food Handler Reviews

Great
very through and informative
Clearly explained modules that virtually guarantee a passing grade if you pay attention.
I have had my food handlers card in the past and went through a different website to obtain it. I got this website from my current supervisor and honestly this website was very informative. Considering that this is women owned, things are explained in a good detail. 1.5 hours of this does seem long but it is not. I learned some new information from the last time I took it and also the final exam was 40 questions. Final exam questions were fairly simple and reflected everything that was talked about.
easy and concise to follow
It was informative and good learning material.
Well worth it & Very Recommended

The information was clear and concise.
Modules was short and to the point. Very informative on food handling.
Accessed through mobile phone and found the course to be a bit slow
Definitely interesting. I’ve had to take this course several times over my life and this one kept my attention well. The narrator used had a good voice and having to interact at times kept me on my toes. I liked it overall and will be back if available when it is time to do it again.
The information makes one aware of how to protect yourself and your loved ones from needless illnesses by using preventive measures, common sense and paying attention to the potetntial hazards and cross contamination when it comes to handing food. This info also keeps me alert when I am being served in a restaurant. Just recently, I was at a restaurant, and was served my meal with white bread instead of pita bread. I brought it to the server’s attention, he apologized and he grabbed the two pieces of bread off my plate. We thought that was kind of weird, but at least he was nice about it, and wearing gloves. However, he touched other things with his gloves, since he was busy serving other people. If I knew then, that that would’ve been a violation, I think I would’ve told the manager, instead of letting it go. Even though some of this info is common sense, it is helpful to bring the topic up with an explanation to back up the standards. Otherwise, it is very easy to let things slide. Also, there are specific info that I wasn’t aware of, like how many degrees should you receive food when hot or when cold. Overall, this course was very insightful. I kept thinking my whole family should take this course, so we can all be on the same page. I also feel the need to practice these guidelines regularly in my own home kitchen.
simple and informative.
This course goes into great depth and provides an in depth understanding of food safety.
