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.

Quite informative!

The training course includes a lot of important information. The course also has a lot of pictures, which is great for visual learners. it goes by pretty fast. I would like the option to skip through the parts that i already reviewed, as some parts does let you skip after you properly went through them. overall i would definitely recommend this to other employers.

Travis S.

5-Star Food Manager Training

This training provided the information I needed to know for confidence as an aspiring new; first-time food service provider. The only thing I can think of at this time that I would like to see for improvement of food manager training is an area within the training course to ask or submit questions for clarification about information in each section or module of the course. For example, being able to ask questions about the comparison of functions in various states, such as the function of large, garage-door-style openings from indoor dining rooms to outdoor patio seating for customers (witnessed frequently in commercial food service establishments). This is in regard to the portion of training on keeping doors and windows closed, screened, and as recommended, having an air-curtain on doors.

Overview

First I appreciate the statement that this was created by a woman and minority owned entity! A lot of information with lots of details.

Abbie T.

Not Mobile Friendly

The course itself is fine—however, it is not very friendly on mobile formats. The audio sometimes cuts out and you have to restart from the beginning. The “optional” tests are not optional, you do have to complete them before being allowed to schedule your exam. I would have completed these anyway but it was a little annoying to be forced to do them when they’re labeled as optional.

Ashley

Straightforward and easy to understand

The course was clear , simple to follow and covered exactly what I needed to feel prepared for my Food Manager test. I liked the step by step breakdowns and practical examples.

Good refresher for real kitchen work too!
