ANAB-Accredited California Food Handler Card Providers
California has no CDPH-run provider list - the qualifying standard under HSC 113948(b)(2) is ANAB Certificate Accreditation Program (CAP) accreditation. This page lists providers matched by name against ANAB's own live accreditation directory, which lists 25 accredited organizations statewide for the "California Food Handler Certificate Program."
This site earns a referral commission when a reader enrolls with 360training/Learn2Serve through the link below; see the affiliate disclosure for the full statement. Every other provider listed here appears because it is ANAB-listed, not because it has a paid placement, and carries only a plain, unmonetized link.
Which providers hold ANAB-confirmed accreditation for the California food handler card?
Five providers on this page are confirmed against the ANAB directory: 360training/Learn2Serve, StateFoodSafety, ServSafe, FenixFoodSafety, and Food Service Prep, out of 25 organizations listed statewide for the California Food Handler Certificate Program.
| Provider | ANAB ID | Affiliate status | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Learn2Serve (360training) | 0975 | Paid affiliate link | 360training / Learn2Serve |
| Certus / StateFoodSafety | 1020 | No consumer affiliate link; institutional/bulk licensing only | StateFoodSafety |
| National Restaurant Association Solutions (ServSafe) | 0655 | No affiliate link | ServSafe |
| FenixFoodSafety LLC | 9262 (ANAB directory; the provider's own site cites "0962," which does not match) | No affiliate link | FenixFoodSafety |
| Food Service Prep | 9052 (ANAB directory) | No affiliate link | Food Service Prep |
Only 360training/Learn2Serve is an affiliate link on this site; the other four are named because they are independently confirmed on the ANAB directory, and their links go directly to the provider's own page with no referral tracking attached.
What does it mean for a provider to be confirmed on this page?
A provider confirmed on this page is one whose name appears directly in ANAB's own live accreditation directory, which this program's governing statute treats as the operative, regulator-equivalent roster for the California food handler card program.
California statute names ANAB accreditation as the qualifying standard for this program, which is why this site treats ANAB's directory as authoritative. This is a stronger confirmation standard than simply trusting a provider's own "ANAB-accredited" claim on its marketing page - it means an independent, government-recognized accreditation body's own public directory lists the organization by name for this specific program. The remaining 20 organizations on the ANAB directory are not profiled for price or format on this page; this page lists a price or format claim only for the five providers shown in the table above.
Why isn't StateFoodSafety a linked affiliate provider on this page?
StateFoodSafety offers bulk institutional licensing but has no public consumer-facing affiliate program, so this site links to its page directly without any referral tracking or compensation, the same treatment given to ServSafe, FenixFoodSafety, and Food Service Prep below.
The same is true of ServSafe, which has no public affiliate program at all, and of FenixFoodSafety and Food Service Prep, neither of which publishes an affiliate or partner program page. Only paid providers carry a sponsored link on this page; every other provider gets a plain link with no referral tracking or compensation - see affiliate disclosure for exactly which relationships are compensated.
Can I use any of the other 20 ANAB-listed organizations instead?
Yes - any of the 25 organizations on ANAB's own accreditation directory for the California program satisfies HSC 113948(b)(2) equally, since accreditation status, not this site's profiling depth, is what determines legal validity.
This page profiles five providers by name; the other 20 are equally valid choices under the statute, they are simply not individually listed here for price or format. A reader who wants to check any provider by name, including one not shown above, should search the ANAB accreditation directory directly rather than rely on marketing claims alone.

Frequently asked questions
Is a provider not listed here automatically unaccredited?
No. Only 5 of the 25 ANAB-listed organizations are profiled on this page. Check any provider directly against the ANAB accreditation directory before assuming it is unaccredited just because it is not on this page.
Why does this page name providers this site does not earn a commission from?
Because they are ANAB-accredited and part of the honest, complete answer to "which providers are valid" - see about for how this site verifies what it lists. Naming only the compensated provider would misrepresent the actual provider landscape.
Does ANAB accreditation expire?
Accreditation cycles are typically multi-year under ANAB's standard practice, and ANAB does not publish a California-only renewal cadence separate from its general cycle, so a provider's current listing on the ANAB directory, not a fixed calendar assumption, is the reliable check.
Is the ANAB directory the same thing as a CDPH-approved list?
No single CDPH-run list exists for this program; CDPH's own statute (HSC 113948(b)(2)) names ANAB CAP accreditation as the qualifying standard, so this site treats the ANAB directory as the operative, regulator-equivalent roster.
Can a provider on this list also serve San Diego, Riverside, or San Bernardino County?
No. ANAB CAP accreditation covers only the statewide 55-county program. Those three counties require their own separate local credential regardless of a provider's ANAB status - see San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino.
