Pennsylvania food managers must adhere to regulations modeled after the FDA Food Code, ensuring they maintain safe food handling, sanitation practices, and supervisory oversight in food establishments statewide.

In Pennsylvania, compliance is verified by requiring food establishments to employ Certified Food Protection Managers who have earned certification through an ANAB accredited program, following FDA Food Code principles.

In Pennsylvania, food establishments licensed by the state must have at least one staff member who holds a certified food protection manager (CFPM) credential. This certification is essential for demonstrating knowledge of proper food safety practices.

Exceptions apply to certain low-risk operations,such as those selling only sealed, prepackaged items—and some nonprofit organizations.

The certified manager doesn’t need to be present during all business hours but must be reachable at all times the facility is operating. Each certified individual may only be designated for one location.

To earn certification, candidates must pass an exam from an ANSI-CFP accredited program, like the one provided by AAA Food Handler.

It’s also important to know that several counties in Pennsylvania oversee their own food safety manager regulations. These include:

  • Allegheny County

  • Bucks County

  • Chester County

  • Montgomery County

  • Philadelphia County

  • State College Borough

If your business falls under one of these jurisdictions, be sure to consult the local health department to confirm accepted training providers and specific guidelines.

Well presented easy to follow course

September 17, 2025

I needed to take a food handler course to get a cottage food license. This one covered a lot of subjects, more than I thought it would. I feel confident I can start my cottage food business with proper food handling procedures.

September 17, 2025

It doesn’t give you a progress bar. It’s overall incredibly hard to navigate and then when you finish it’s really hard to find your certificate. Mine didn’t prompt me to do anything and didn’t show up in the certificate sections so I had to contact customer service.

Made Me Rethink How We Scoop and Serve

May 21, 2025

One part of the course that really stood out to me as an ice cream shop owner was the section on temperature danger zones. I always thought as long as the ice cream stayed frozen, we were in the clear—but the course explains how even brief temperature changes during scooping or restocking can allow bacteria to grow, especially in toppings or mix-ins that sit out. It also covered how sanitizing scoops between uses isn’t just about cleanliness—it’s a real food safety measure. Honestly changed the way I look at our prep line.

Well organized program.

May 21, 2025

This course was very well organized and easy to follow. I originally purchased a different course. Very shady that the other course asked for a review before the course would even start. This course was more money but definitely worth it. Especially since now I have paid for the other course and will most likely not get a refund.

Safety first

May 21, 2025

It was good, a lot of important information that helped me to realize the significance for a manager to keep everyone safe and keep up with the business at the same time. Such as identifying potential biological, chemical, food borne hazards that could lead to an unsafe situation.

My first FMCC was back in 2006. Although I’m not a fan of having to take any type of tests, we’ll see how this one goes! I have found this course to be a bit more interesting than the previous ones taken. It goes quickly, is easy to understand, but I probably could have done without the “feeling worms move in their mouth” part. Other than that, two thumbs up!!!

I’am happy I took this training program, I learned to be proactive rather than reactive, have checks and control points for every process as well as help train team for a better functional work environment. safety is a team effort and there is no better way of accomplishing this as having every team member knowledgeable and aware of why processing have to maintained as well as reporting as need be whenever there is any misunderstanding.
