The Utah Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) requires every foodservice establishment to employ at least one certified food protection manager (CFPM), and a person in charge (PIC) must be on-site during all hours of operation.

Every five years, CFPMs must renew their credentials through an approved certification provider.

Every food handler in Utah must complete an approved food handler training program within 14 days of starting their job and obtain a permit within 30 days.
