A foodborne illness outbreak costs more than money — it damages reputations, erodes consumer trust and puts public health at risk. SafeMark® provides the necessary training to retail managers and front-line employees to help keep food and consumers safe.
SafeMark® is the ONLY food safety training and certification program created BY retailers, FOR retailers.
SafeMark® meets the current model Food Code, which is published every four years by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with a smaller supplement edition every two years. The next Food Code is scheduled for publication in 2026, when new editions for the entire SafeMark® product line will be published.
Using the SafeMark® program has been an invaluable tool to help prepare retail store managers for the Certified Food Protection Manager exam every step of the way. The real-world examples and scenarios used throughout the training help to prepare learners for the exam. I would recommend SafeMark® training to anyone looking to prepare for the certification exam.

The SafeMark® program is an integral part of Food Safety training and education in my organization. SafeMark® materials are both practical and effective, allowing me and my team as food safety educators to teach actionable and relevant food safety concepts for both managers and line-level employees in a retail setting. The program provides foundational knowledge needed to apply key food safety principles each time a food worker receives, stores, prepares, handles, displays or sells food. SafeMark® has been a tremendous tool for increasing knowledge and retention of key food safety principles for our food handlers at all levels throughout the organization.
