Who needs a food protection manager certification in the state of Massachusetts? Although The Massachusetts FPP holds establishments to the standards of the 2013 FDA Food Code, the legislature [amended those requirements](https://www.mass.gov/doc/105-cmr-590-state-sanitary-code-chapter-x-minimum-sanitation-standards-for-food-establishments/download?_ga=2.112844867.670159787.1751848494-603332529.1748418199&_gl=1*1uu3655*_ga*NjAzMzMyNTI5LjE3NDg0MTgxOTk.*_ga_MCLPEGW7WM*czE3NTE4NDg3NDIkbzEkZzEkdDE3NTE4NDg4MTQkajU2JGwwJGgw) to state that PICs must earn their CFPM credentials. This requirement means that most managers must earn a certification every five years. What happens if I cannot pass a certification exam? If a person in charge attends a training course and fails to pass the certification exam after two attempts, the establishment’s permit holder may request a variance for that individual. The permit holder must submit the following to the FPP: (a) Signed documentation from the instructor that the person in charge participated in a food safety training program; and (b) The facility being in full compliance with 105 CMR 590.000. Are there county-specific food safety regulations in Massachusetts? No, all state food safety regulations and requirements apply statewide.  Is Trust20 an approved certification provider in the state of Massachusetts? Yes, Trust20’s certification program is accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and Conference for Food Protection (CFP), and we are listed as an approved provider on the Massachusetts FPP website.  Where can I learn more about Trust20’s Food Protection Manager Certification?
