The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) requires most food establishments to have a certified food protection manager (CFPM) on-site during all hours of operation to oversee the preparation and service process. The ADPH typically requires managers to pass an approved certification exam every five years; however, in some cases, a certificate of completion can serve as a temporary substitute for up to one year.
