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.
