State Regulation

In Washington DC, it is a legal requirement to have a Food Manager Certification. Always Food Safe's Manager Certification Will Be Accepted By Your Health Inspector and across the USA.

Under DCMR § 25-A203, each "person in charge" of a food service establishment in the District of Columbia must have a DC Health-issued Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) ID card.  

First, you need to be certified by an ANAB-accredited and DC-approved CFPM program like Always Food Safe. While a food safety manager training course isn't required by regulations, it’s strongly recommended to help you pass the CFPM exam.  

Once you pass the exam, take your original exam certificate to the DC Health Food Protection Division to receive your Certified Food Manager ID card.

To meet the certification criteria, you must obtain an ANAB Food Manager certification through an ANAB-accredited provider such as Always Food Safe.
