Food protection certification is not transferable from one staff member to another, so be proactive in scheduling training or hiring a new CFPM as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to promote from within, there are two training options when it comes to gaining certification, online and in person. If you&#8217;ve lost a MN CFPM suddenly, online certified food protection manager classes may be the quickest and most convenient method of gaining certification. Online food certification classes can be taken at any time and contain all the materials necessary to pass the exam. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safefoodtraining.com\/schedule-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In-person classes do happen rather frequently if you prefer to engage with an industry professional with experience running certified food protection manager courses. With instructor-led courses, you&#8217;ll also be able to take the exam on the same day as the training where online course study and food certification exam scheduling may have a gap.<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.safefoodtraining.com\/schedule-2\/\">   <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 60-day grace period doesn&#8217;t just apply to losing a CFPM suddenly, new establishment openings and re-openings after a temporary closure also receive this same grace period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We never like to see sudden management departures, but do you have a plan if your MN CFPM has to depart on short notice?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All Minnesota food businesses are required to employ a certified food protection manager (CFPM), but what happens if a restaurant or other food facility loses theirs without warning?
