Why Your Operation Needs Official ODH License #89-188
In the state of Ohio, food safety is not merely a suggestion—it is a legal mandate strictly enforced by the Ohio Department of Health. When a local health inspector visits your facility, they are specifically looking for documentation that verifies your staff has completed ODH-approved training. ACE Food Handler operates under License #89-188, which means our curriculum has been thoroughly vetted and sanctioned by the state. Using a non-approved, generic provider can result in failed inspections, costly fines, and a tarnished reputation. By enrolling your team in our specific Level 1 PIC course, you are securing a credential that is recognized and respected across all 88 Ohio counties. ODH approved food safety
The Importance of Level 1 Person in Charge Training
Level 1 Person in Charge training goes far beyond basic handwashing. It empowers your employees to take active responsibility for food safety during their shifts. The course covers critical areas such as time and temperature controls for safety (TCS) foods, cross-contamination prevention, and rigorous personal hygiene protocols. Because this training is ODH-approved, it is tailored specifically to the Ohio Uniform Food Safety Code. This ensures that the language, regulations, and safety expectations taught in the course align perfectly with what inspectors expect to see in your kitchen. It bridges the gap between basic knowledge and professional accountability.
Transparent Pricing: No Hidden Fees, Just Compliance
We understand that running a restaurant in Ohio involves navigating tight margins and constant overhead costs. That is why ACE Food Handler offers our ODH-approved training for a flat fee of $10. Unlike other providers who lure customers in with a low price only to add “processing fees” or “certificate download fees” at the end, our pricing is fully transparent. Upon completion of the course and the final quiz, you receive instant proof of compliance. There is no waiting for the mail or paying extra to unlock your results. You get the official certification you need to keep your kitchen open and your customers safe, all for one straightforward price. ODH approved food safety
