Common Questions About Getting Your Food Handlers Card

FoodSafePal's Food Handler Training holds the same ANSI-National Accreditation Board (ANAB) accreditation as ServSafe. This means that the food handlers card you earn with FoodSafePal is valid and accepted everywhere ServSafe is.

Your FoodSafePal Food Handler Card is valid for three years. However, your state or county may require you to renew sooner. For example, if you live in Texas, your FoodSafePal Food Handler Card is valid for two years.

The minimum passing score is 70%. After you pass, you can access your card and certificate immediately under "Certificates" in your Dashboard. You will have one free retake to pass the test. If you don’t pass on your second try, you will need to repurchase the course.

After you complete the course and pass the test, you can immediately download or print your card and certificate under "My Dashboard" → "My Certificates."
