Food Manager Certification

All food service establishments (e.g. restaurants, bars, schools, hospitals, mobile food establishments, and special transitory food units) must have a certified food manager. Temporary food service establishments are exempt from this rule.

To be certified you must pass an ANSI/CFP nationally accredited exam once every 5 years.  To prepare for the exam, most individuals take a class (in person or on-line) or self-study.  Exams are proctored and must be taken either at an approved testing site or are given at the end of a course by an approved instructor.

The following courses are ANSI/CFP Nationally Accredited Exams Used by Course Providers

Michigan State University Extension offers ServSafe® training, which is a national certification program. This class is designed for anyone working in the food service industry, including non-profit organizations.
