What are the Vermont food safety regulations? 

Under the Vermont Health Regulations for Food Service Establishments, there must be a person in charge present at the food establishment any time it’s open. This can be the licensee, which is typically the owner, but it can also be someone they designate.

Whoever it is, this person must be able to show that they understand the risks that foodborne illnesses pose to food establishments, how to apply HACCP principles, and the requirements stated in the regulations.

There are two ways the person in charge can demonstrate their knowledge:

1. Respond correctly to the inspector's questions as they relate to the specific food operation. 
2. Being a certified food protection manager who has shown proficiency in the required information through passing a test that is part of an accredited program.

If you decide to choose option two, you can take our Certified Food Protection Manager exam because it is an ANSI-CFP accredited program. 

How long is the food manager certification good for?

If you take our exam to get your food manager certification, it’s good for five years. After that, you’ll need to pass the exam again to get re-certified.
