Food Manager Certification
Wayne County currently requires
a Certified Food Manager in each “fixed” food establishment. The Certified
Food Manager is an individual who has successfully completed a course that has been
approved by the Michigan Department of Agriculture, thereby proving their knowledge
of food service sanitation.
Topics such as sanitation and bacteriology are introduced together with many of
the items that are routinely monitored during a health inspection. The Certified
Food Manager is a liaison between the food service employees and the Health Department.
They are the one responsible for instructing and educating their staff to maintain
a high level of cleanliness and sanitation. A Certified Food Manager must work at
least 20 hours per week in the facility for which he or she is certified.
The Certified Food Manager Course is offered through the Environmental Health Division
as a convenience to food service operators.
As an added benefit to those individuals who have become certified through Wayne
County’s courses, we offer free Employee Training Sessions on food safety.
These training sessions allow additional food service employees to gain basic food
safety knowledge.
