Montana Food Handlers Card and Certificates from FHC® Food Handler Classes, FoodHandlerClasses.com, offers an easy and elegant way to obtain your ANAB accredited and approved food handler training certificate at minimal cost and effort to the student. We are a nationally accredited company and work closely with state and local departments to provide food safety and your food handlers certificate.
Though our food handlers certificate is valid throughout the State of Montana, you may be required to transfer or register the food handler certificate with your local health department. If you're not sure, please be sure to contact them regarding this issue.
Not statewide, but don’t get too comfortable. While the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services doesn’t require food handler certification by law, many local health jurisdictions and food service employers do—especially in larger cities and counties.
If you’re in Missoula, Billings, Bozeman, Great Falls, Helena, or working in a resort town like Whitefish, chances are your employer expects you to be trained in food safety—even if it's not legally required.
Anyone who handles food or food-contact surfaces can benefit from training—and in many cases, it’s mandatory per local ordinance or your company’s policy. That includes:
Restaurant and bar staff
Hotel, lodge, and resort employees
Casino workers and racetrack vendors
Grocery store and deli employees
Concession stand and theme park staff
Caterers and banquet servers
School cafeteria workers
Culinary program students and interns
Whether you’re flipping burgers, pouring drinks, or serving chili at the county fair—you should be certified.
Yes. FHC® Food Handler Classes is ANAB-accredited (formerly ANSI), which means it meets national standards recognized by most Montana health authorities and food service employers.
