Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM)

CERTIFIED FOOD PROTECTION MANAGER (CFPM)

Each food establishment shall be under the operational supervision of a certified food service sanitation manager.  An ANSI-accredited Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) certification obtained through a course and passing the exam is required. 

The Illinois Food Service Sanitation Manager Certificate (FSSMC) was eliminated in 2018. If you already have an FSSMC, it will remain valid until its expiration date. At which point, in order to renew, you just need to complete the CFPM course from an ANSI-approved organization.
