ODH approved food safety is essential for compliance in Ohio. ACE Food Handler brings over 10 years of experience to the table, ensuring that food service operators across the state meet the stringent requirements set forth by the Ohio Dept of Health. Many operators mistakenly believe a standard, generic food handler card is sufficient; however, Ohio law is specific. To operate legally, your facility must adhere to the Person in Charge (PIC) Level 1 standards, which requires a state-verified curriculum.

ODH Approved Food Safety Requirements

The Ohio Dept of Health regulations are designed to protect public health by ensuring that those in leadership roles within a kitchen understand the critical principles of food safety. According to the Ohio Uniform Food Safety Code, there must be at least one certified Person in Charge on duty during all hours of operation. This individual is responsible for overseeing food preparation, storage temperatures, and employee hygiene. ACE Food Handler is a state-authorized provider (License: ODH #89-188). Our training directly addresses the specific legal mandates of the state, ensuring your staff is prepared for health inspections and daily operations.
