Starting January 1, 2018, under Public Act 100-0194, the Illinois Department of Public Health will no longer issue the Food Service Sanitation Manager Certification (FSSMC), post course listings, or certify instructors/proctors on or after January 1, 2018. Any course that is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) will be accepted as the FSSMC but the final certification document through IDPH will no longer be needed.
Starting January 1, 2019, under the FDA Food Code the term Food Service Sanitation Manager Certification (FSSMC) will be changed to Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM).
If you currently have a food sanitation license issued by the Illinois Department of Public Health it will fulfill the CFPM requirement until the expiration date.
What That Means:
When an individual has passed the course and exam for the Food Sanitation Certification, an additional application and $35 was required to be sent in to the state for the official IDPH Food License Certification. Now the certificate that is received from passing the course will be valid documentation.
ANSI-CFP Accreditation Program
The ANSI CFPM training is still valid for five years.
Accommodations available upon request. Please contact 815-802-9400 Option 3 for more information.
