The Truth About NRFSP Food Manager Certification

Minnesota food manager certification is required by many restaurants and institutional kitchens. However, there is often some confusion as to the differences between NRFSP certification, ServSafe training, and the standard food workers permit classes. At Safe Food Training, we focus on offering the National Registry of Food Safety Professionals -NRFSP food manager certification.

Advantages of NRFSP Food Manager Certification

While we are able to offer other certification classes upon request, we feel that there are certain advantages to the current NRFSP program of study:

  • National recognition
  • More in-depth education concerning contaminates
  • Most courses include allergen awareness.
The Truth About NRFSP Food Manager Certification?

The certification classes that we offer are endorsed by NRFSP and recognized by the MN Department of Health. This dual recognition means the training that meets Minnesota standards will still have value if you move to a different jurisdiction. There may be some states that require you to retake the certification test locally. Even so, many employers will see your training as an attractive asset on your resume.

The next item on our list can be a valuable addition to your knowledge of food-borne illnesses. The training for basic food workers teaches that bacteria causes food-borne illness. During food manager certification training, you’ll learn about different types of contaminants and their origins. This information will help you more fully understand why bacteria spreads in certain food products. It will also give you a better insight into the consequences of improperly prepared food.

With a growing concern for food allergies, preventing cross-contamination is also crucial for the safety of sensitive guests. The current training sessions will cover food allergens and biological toxins that exist in certain foods such as shellfish. This heightened awareness of how to handle common allergy risks will help you keep guests from having a reaction to these food groups.
