Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM)

• Starting March 1st, 2025, most food establishments will need to have a Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) in charge. However, a CFPM may not be required during all hours of operation. For example, a CFPM might not be needed during low-risk food preparation before the business opens (like in bakeries) or in places like bars where drinks and low-risk foods are served, but the kitchen is closed.
