Foodborne illnesses cause nearly 128,000 hospitalizations per year. And those are only the cases that get reported. It is important that a “person in charge” demonstrates and shares their knowledge with other employees. It is highly recommended that the person in charge has taken a nationally recognized food protection manager’s exam. A health inspector routinely poses questions during the inspection to the Certified Food Protection Manager/person in charge.  \nFACT: A Certified Food Protection Manager must demonstrate knowledge throughout the course of an inspection.  \nFACT: A Certified Food Protection Manager must be on duty during all hours of operation. The absence of this individual could lead to closure.  \nFACT: A Certified Food Protection Manager is responsible for restricting or excluding employees that are showing symptoms of illness.  \nRecommendations  \n• Employ multiple individuals that have passed a nationally recognized food safety course.  \n• Conduct informal training sessions with your staff based on previous health inspections.  \n• Post helpful signs for employees in their native language. Correct mistakes by employees onsite.","cbCaisDKBjLGJtlv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisDKBjLGJtlv","pdf",286655,"English","# Regulatory Requirements for CFPM\n## Critical Responsibilities\n## Recommendations for Food Establishments","[{\"question\":\"Why is it important to have a Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) on duty?\",\"answer\":\"A CFPM must be on duty during all hours of operation to ensure food safety standards are maintained, and their absence could potentially lead to the closure of the establishment.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the primary responsibilities of a Certified Food Protection Manager during an inspection?\",\"answer\":\"The CFPM must demonstrate food safety knowledge to health inspectors during the inspection and is responsible for restricting or excluding employees who show symptoms of illness.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the recommended strategies for improving food safety compliance?\",\"answer\":\"It is recommended to employ multiple staff members who have passed nationally recognized food safety courses, conduct informal training sessions based on past inspections, and post educational signs for employees in their native language.\"}]","Fact Sheet - Certified Food Protection Manager - Regulatory Requirements and Guidance | PDF",1790037825]
