Which Regulatory Guidelines Shape Food Manager Certification Requirements in Pennsylvania?

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.

It gave good points that made taking notes easy!

The way the program is set up you are able to work at your own pace – so no matter what time frame you are looking at you are able to accomplish the goals you have set forth!

Absolutely loved that they gave short quizzes after the sessions – which helped me to know areas I needed to spend more time studying before moving on.

The video should have more context as narrative speaks so it is easier to follow because some people are more of a visual leaner.

I think questions should be straight forward using common sense. No need to words it to sound confusing. When you are on the job, you have to use your basic common sense to make quick decision to make your best judgement to prevent bad things from happening,
