Know Before You Train

How can I qualify as a Certified Food Protection Manager in St. Louis County?

In St. Louis County, managers or supervisors responsible for food service must demonstrate advanced knowledge of safe food handling. The most direct way to do this is by completing a nationally accredited food manager certification through the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and passing the Conference for Food Protection (CFP) Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) exam. AAA Food Handler offers a fully ANAB-accredited program that is accepted by both the St. Louis County Department of Public Health and recognized throughout Missouri.

Does St. Louis County law require Food Protection Manager Certification?

Yes. Local regulations require that at least one CFPM be present or available during food service operations in establishments such as restaurants, caterers, institutional kitchens, and mobile vendors. While the Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services provides statewide food safety guidance, it is the St. Louis County ordinances that make certification mandatory for designated managers. Certification ensures that the person in charge can correctly apply the Missouri Food Code and oversee staff practices.

How long is a Food Manager Certification valid in St. Louis County?

The ANAB-accredited Food Protection Manager Certification is typically valid for five years, but you should confirm the renewal period with St. Louis County inspectors since local authorities set final timelines. AAA Food Handler provides reminders and renewal support to help managers remain compliant without interruption.

Can I take the Food Manager exam online in St. Louis County?

Yes. AAA Food Handler provides a secure, remotely proctored examination that candidates can take online from home or office. The Food Protection Manager Certification exam is ANAB-accredited and CFP-approved, ensuring acceptance across St. Louis County. Results are issued promptly, and successful candidates can present proof of certification to the local health department when requested.

Who is expected to obtain certification?

St. Louis County requires the person in charge of daily food operations to hold Food Manager Certification. In larger operations, multiple managers may pursue certification so that each shift has a certified leader on duty. Many employers also request certification from chefs, supervisors, and ownership personnel as a condition of employment.

What are the responsibilities of a Food Protection Manager in St. Louis County?

Certified managers are entrusted with more than daily oversight. They must:

Interpret and apply St. Louis County food safety ordinances.
Establish and monitor cleaning, storage, and preparation protocols.
Conduct staff training on proper hygiene and foodborne illness prevention.
Maintain compliance records for county health inspections.
Enforce standards across suppliers and contractors.

This role ensures that food establishments consistently meet public health expectations while protecting staff and customers from preventable hazards.

Why is an ANAB-accredited certification necessary in St. Louis County?

Foodborne illnesses remain a critical concern in Missouri. By requiring managers to hold ANAB-accredited Food Protection Manager Certification, St. Louis County ensures that certified individuals meet the highest national benchmark in food safety. The program is recognized by both the FDA and the CDC, confirming that certified managers are equipped to reduce risks such as Salmonella and Norovirus outbreaks.

Very informative and easy to understand information.

Theresa I.

very educational

I learned a lot about food service

James

very well presented course

The course is very clear and detailed. The best part of it is that you can stop and go back whenever you have time or are ready to continue.

Urszula C.

Good for the most part

Not every slide had a CC option. If for some reason a slide needed to be paused, CC started over while the slide continued. And the narrator had a fairly monotone voice, making it a little hard for me to concentrate

Rae

Lots if information

The videos give lots of information. I do wish that you could rewind on each video. Especially because if you’re taking notes, sometimes you only wanna go back five seconds and not have to start the video all over again
