About the ServSafe Food Handler Exam
ServSafe® is one of the most widely recognized food safety programs in the United States, created by the National Restaurant Association. The ServSafe Food Handler exam tests the same core safety skills as other food handler programs, and many employers accept it nationwide.
ServSafe vs. a generic food handler card
Both cover the essentials — temperatures, cross-contamination, hygiene, and cleaning. ServSafe is a specific brand of program; some states and employers prefer it, while others accept any state-approved course. Check what your employer or state requires.
