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 owns the establishment
c.That the person passed an accredited exam showing food safety knowledge
d.That the person holds a current CPR certification
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.
