Certified Food Protection Manager
Certified Food Protection Manager (which begins enforcement, March 1st, 2023) is part of Washington State’s 2022 update to the retail food code that requires every foodservice operation to have at least one person trained and certified as someone with “Active Managerial Control”.
In this interview, our Restaurant Consultant, Andy Cook sits down with Washington State DOH’s Public Health Advisor, Susan Shelton to discuss in plain speak what many restaurant operators are wondering:
-Where does one go to receive certification?
-What skills and knowhow will certification impart?
-How does a foodservice operation ensure compliance?
-What responsibilities will a Certified Food Protection Manager have? -How will this affect our relationship with our local health inspector?
