Why do you need a Food Safety Certificate in Massachusetts and all State in US?

Across USA, food safety regulations are enforced at each State level. While exact requirements vary by location, most cities, towns and territories mandate that anyone involved in preparing, storing or serving food must hold a valid Food Safety manager Certificate, at least one per food establishment.

• This includes employees working in:
• Restaurants and catering businesses
• Hospitals, cafeterias and care facilities
• Grocery stores and food retail outlets
• Daycares, schools and community kitchens

As well as ensuring you meet your legal obligations, certification can help build your credibility, improve your job prospects and provide the knowledge and skills required to protect public health through the prevention of food-borne illnesses like E. coli, Salmonella, Hepatitis A, and Norovirus.
