Oregon Food Protection Manager Certification
The Oregon Health Authority’s (OHA) Foodborne Illness Prevention Program does not require a person in charge (PIC) to obtain a food manager certification. However, a PIC must be present during all hours of operation and prepared to demonstrate their knowledge of foodborne disease prevention, application of the HACCP principles, and the requirements of the Oregon Food Sanitation Rules to the health inspector. Earning certified food protection manager (CFPM) credentials is one way for PICs to demonstrate their knowledge to regulatory authorities.
Trust20’s certification program can help PICs meet state and local requirements.
