Maryland Training and Certification
Trust20 provides online food safety training, certification, and resources designed to align with Maryland’s rigorous standards for foodservice professionals.
Our Products
The Environmental Health Bureau’s Office of Food Protection (OFP) within the Maryland Department of Health oversees food safety standards and regulations.
While there are no statewide requirements for training or certification, the OFP encourages food establishments to maintain thorough knowledge of food safety practices to ensure compliance with the COMAR Code of Maryland and the 2009 Food Code.
There are many cities and counties that do require some form of food safety training and/or certification.
