State Regulations

In the state of Michigan, food establishments must have at least one certified food manager on staff. To obtain certification, individuals must successfully pass an exam known as the ANAB-CFP-accredited Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) exam. Always Food Safe offers a CFPM exam that meets these requirements. While it is possible to prepare for the exam through self-study, it is highly recommended to enroll in a food safety manager course.
