Management & HACCPQuestion 252 of 320
A regulation requires that at least one employee with management authority be a certified food protection manager. What does this credential demonstrate?
a.That the person has worked in food service for at least five years
b.That the person holds a current CPR certification
c.That the person passed an accredited exam showing food safety knowledge
d.That the person owns the establishment
Explanation
A certified food protection manager has passed a food safety exam from an accredited program, demonstrating the knowledge needed to run a safe operation. The Food Code treats this certification as evidence that the person in charge understands foodborne-illness prevention. Years of experience or ownership alone do not satisfy the requirement.
