The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) mandates that many food establishments employ at least one certified food protection manager (CFPM). This person must be a full-time staff member; however, they do not need to be on-site during all hours of operation. If the establishment’s CFPM leaves the team, the establishment has 90 days to hire another CFPM to meet the state’s requirements.
