Why ServSafe?

The ServSafe Program is a certification the industry trusts. More than 3 million ServSafe Food Protection Manager certifications have been awarded to date. The ServSafe Food Protection Manager Certification Exam is valid, reliable and legally defensible, and is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-Conference for Food Protection (CFP).

Every foodservice operation is required by the State of Connecticut to designate a Person in Charge (PIC) who is certified as a Certified Food Protection manager (formerly known as the QFO), whose responsibilities not only include food safety, but staff training as well. There must be a certified person in charge on site during all shifts. You can view the Food Safety Regulations here.
