Does Arkansas Require a Food Handler Card?

No — Arkansas doesn’t have a state food handler law, but some counties and many employers require anyone who handles food or works around food-contact surfaces to get a food handler card, usually within 30 days of starting the job. This video explains who needs one, how to get it online, and how to renew it before it expires — all with FoodSafePal.

The One Place For Both Certs

09/19/26

So glad I landed on this website. I got my food handler and food manager certificates from the same site, and both are acceptable by the States I live and work at. The prices were very reasonable. But I would say the questions I had on the food manager test were not part of the practice test they have. I relied on other youtubes I found. But passed the test from the first attempt. You are allowed two with the same payment.

Fast and Effective

I took this training so that I could produce goods out of my home under the HFFA law in Oklahoma. I have taken courses like this before but this one was quick and easy to understand. I liked the interactive nature of the content, being able to test knowledge as you go instead of all at the end, in the exam.

Awesome

Im a simple person and never was good with any kind of test, more of a hands on kind of person and I have to say allowing people to return to the videos and listen more than one time was great. Awesome job!
