Scope and Independence

1. We are not the official body

We have no affiliation with, endorsement from, sponsorship by, or connection to the National Restaurant Association, ServSafe, any ServSafe exam delivery partner, or any government agency. We do not proctor exams and we do not issue certificates.

ServSafe is a registered trademark of the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation. We use the name only to describe the exams we help you practice for.

2. Our questions are not the real exam questions

Every question on this site is written in our own words from primary sources such as the FDA Food Code. Our questions are designed to teach the food safety and alcohol service knowledge those sources cover. They are not copies of the questions you will see on the exam.

3. Passing our mock exam does not guarantee passing the real exam

A score on our mock exams is not a prediction or a guarantee of your score on the real exam. We could not access ServSafe's current detailed exam blueprints, so we cannot show that we cover everything the exams test.

Use this site alongside the official ServSafe course materials.

4. This is not professional advice

Everything on this site is educational practice content. It does not replace your employer's training and procedures, and it is not food safety, medical or legal advice.

Do not make a real decision about anyone's safety on the basis of a practice question. At work, follow your employer's procedures and the rules of your local health department or state alcohol agency.

5. We do not decide which certificate you need

Requirements differ by state and local jurisdiction, and alcohol laws differ by state. Before you pay for anything, confirm what is required with your employer, your local health department or your state alcohol agency.

6. Information changes, and we may be out of date

Exam formats, pass marks and rules change. There will be times when the official position has changed and this site has not caught up yet.

Where anything here conflicts with servsafe.com about an exam, or with your local authority about a rule, follow them and please tell us so we can fix it.

7. Accuracy of our answers

Each answer has a citation with a verbatim quote that a script has checked against our saved copy of the source. Every question was reviewed. Automated checks do not prove that a judgment about a fact is correct.

If you believe one of our answers is wrong, please report it under our corrections policy.

8. Buy exams only through official channels

We do not sell ServSafe courses, exams or certificates. When we state a fact about an exam, we are reporting what ServSafe publishes. Our subscriptions cover only the practice materials on this site.

Go to servsafe.com for courses, exams and certificates.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss arising from reliance on this website, including a failed exam, lost work or any cost incurred.

Nothing in this statement excludes any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. This does not limit any rights you have under the law where you live.
