Wyoming Food Protection Manager Certification
The Consumer Health Services within the Wyoming Department of Agriculture 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 Wyoming Food Safety Rule 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.
