ServSafe

ServSafe is a food safety training and certification brand run by the National Restaurant Association. It includes a food handler course for front-line staff, a food protection manager certification for supervisors, and courses on allergens and responsible alcohol service. Many health departments accept ServSafe to meet food handler or certified manager requirements, though rules vary by state and county. For cooks, banquet servers and catering staff, a current ServSafe card is a clear signal they know the basics.
