Cape Cod Food Safety

Massachusetts Certified Food Protection Manager Requirement

Every foodservice establishment must have at least one full-time equivalent employee who is at least 18 years of age, and who has passed a food safety exam which is recognized by the Department of Public Health, such as the ServSafe® Serving Safe Food certification offered by the MRA. This person must be someone who is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day preparation of food. Although the Department does not require that this person participate in a training program, passing one of the recognized exams does require detailed knowledge of food safety and the prevention of foodborne illness. Most employees will need to take a training course in order to pass the exam and become certified.
