Food Safety Tips

Feb 15, 2024 | Food Handler

Food safety is a vital aspect of any food service operation, whether it is a restaurant, a catering business, or a food truck. Foodborne illnesses can cause serious harm to customers and employees, as well as damage the reputation and profitability of the business. That is why it is essential for food handlers to follow proper food safety practices and obtain a food handler card from a reputable provider like Ace Food Handler.

A food handler card is a certificate that shows that you have completed a food safety training course and passed a test. It demonstrates that you have the knowledge and skills to handle food safely and prevent foodborne illnesses. In some states, such as California, Texas, and Utah, a food handler card is required by law for anyone who works with food or beverages. In other states, it may be optional or recommended by local health departments or employers.

Ace Food Handler offers online food safety courses that are tailored to the specific regulations and requirements of each state. You can complete the course at your own pace, from any device, and receive your food handler card instantly upon passing the test. You will also be registered automatically with your local health department, if applicable. Ace Food Handler’s courses are accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which means they meet the highest standards of quality and credibility.

These are just some of the topics covered by Ace Food Handler’s courses. By mastering these food safety principles, you will not only pass your food handler test and earn your food handler card, but also protect the health and well-being of your customers, co-workers, and yourself.
