How many NYC Food Protection practice questions are here?+

Is this NYC Food Protection practice test free?+
Yes — completely free, no signup. The official DOHMH course is free too; the proctored final exam at the Health Academy costs $24.60. PrepPass is a free study aid to help you pass it.
Are these real NYC Food Protection exam questions?+
No. All 240 questions are original prose written from the public-domain NYC Health Code Article 81 and DOHMH food-protection concepts. We never copy the real exam.
What temperatures does the NYC exam use?+
NYC uses its own values: the Temperature Danger Zone is 41°F to 140°F, hot holding is 140°F (not the generic FDA 135°F), and ground meat must be cooked to 158°F. Our questions use the NYC numbers.
How do I get the NYC Food Protection Certificate?+
Take the free 15-lesson online course from the NYC Health Academy (English, Spanish, Chinese, and more), then pass the proctored exam ($24.60, 70% to pass). The certificate does not expire, and a certificate-holder must be on site during operating hours.
What languages is the NYC course available in?+
The DOHMH course is offered in English, Spanish, Chinese, and other languages. PrepPass practice is available in English and Español.
