A Food Handlers Certificate is a valuable sign of accomplishment

A Food Handlers Certificate is is required by many state or local health departments in order for you to serve food to the public. However, even in those states that do not mandate it, a Food Handlers Certificate demonstrates that you have a good understanding of food safety rules and practices.  The certificate further show that you are committed to protecting your customers and coworkers from injury and illness.

HOW Can I use THE Food Handlers Certificate?

You may distribute physical and electronic copies of your Responsible Training Food Handlers Certificate to current and prospective employers, government agencies, or anyone else to demonstrate that you have met the requirements laid out in the ANAB (ANSI National Accreditation Board) ANSI/ASTM E2659-18 standard practice for certificate programs. According to this program, when referring to yourself as a certificate holder, you may say that you are a "Responsible Training Food Handler Certificate Recipient" or a "Holder of a Responsible Training Food Handler Certificate." You may not say that you are "certified," "certificated," "licensed," "registered," or "accredited."
