  • Missouri FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

    What’s the deal—do Missouri food workers really need this training?

    In Missouri, the answer depends on where you work. The state doesn’t require food handler certification across the board, but many counties and cities do—especially in St. Louis, Kansas City, Columbia, Springfield, and Independence.

    Even where it’s not mandatory, employers almost always require it to meet local inspection standards. So, if you're applying for a job in food service—get certified, stay competitive.

    Real talk: What kinds of jobs actually need food handler training in Missouri?

    If you're working with food in any of these places, you’re either required or highly encouraged to take a food handler course:

    • Restaurants, cafés, food trucks, diners

    • Bars, grills, and taverns

    • Hotels, resorts, and lodges

    • Casinos and horse or car racing tracks

    • Grocery stores and gas stations with hot food

    • Amusement parks and movie theaters

    • Caterers, banquet halls, event centers

    • School cafeterias, daycares, college food services

    • Culinary schools and hands-on training labs

    If it has a kitchen or serves food to the public—you’re in the zone.

    I live in St. Louis. Does the city have its own food safety rules?

    Yes, and they’re stricter than most. St. Louis and St. Louis County each have their own health departments, and they often require ANSI-accredited food handler training—FHC® qualifies.

    Same goes for Kansas City and Jackson County. Always check local rules, but FHC® is accepted by most Missouri municipalities that require training.

    What makes FHC® a smart choice for Missouri food workers?

     

    • It’s ANAB-accredited (formerly ANSI), so it checks the compliance box
    • It’s 100% online, mobile-friendly, and easy to complete
    • You get your certificate instantly when you pass
    • Only $7—budget-friendly for students and new hires
    • It’s written in plain language, not legal mumbo jumbo
    Does Missouri recognize online food handler classes?

    Yes. Most Missouri counties and employers accept online, ANAB-accredited training, which makes FHC® a convenient option for busy schedules and remote learners. No classrooms, no travel—just click, train, and print.

    How long is my certificate good for in Missouri?

    Once you pass the course, your FHC® certificate is valid for 3 years. Be sure to check with your employer or local health department in case they request more frequent renewal.

    I’m a culinary student. Will this work for my externship?

    Absolutely. Culinary and hospitality programs across Missouri—including in Columbia, Springfield, and Cape Girardeau—often require students to complete a food safety course before starting an internship or lab. FHC® gets you certified fast and cheap.

    I work in a school kitchen. Do I need this?

    Most likely. Missouri school districts, daycares, and universities often require cafeteria workers to hold a food handler certificate. FHC® meets those expectations, and you can finish the training in about an hour.
