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 completed at least five years of paid food service work
b.That the person holds a current CPR and first-aid certification card on file
c.That the person passed an accredited exam showing food safety knowledge
d.That the person owns the establishment or its current operating permit
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 that certification as evidence that the person in charge understands foodborne-illness prevention. Years of service, a CPR and first-aid card, and owning the establishment or its operating permit are all real things an operator may have, but none of them is the accredited food safety examination the rule requires.
