What are the Montana food safety regulations? 

Montana requires at least one Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) per foodservice establishment. To become certified, you'll need to pass an exam through an ANSI-accredited program like Learn2Serve by 360training. 

We always recommend checking with your local health department for any additional certification and training requirements. 

How long is the food manager certification good for? 

Food protection manager certification through an ANSI-accredited program is generally valid for a maximum of five years. 

Can you take the Montana food manager exam online? 

Yes, your exam will be administered through our online proctor service. The Learn2Serve Food Protection Manager Certification Exam is accredited by the American National Standards Institute and the Conference for Food Protection (ANSI-CFP).

Who should get their food manager certification? 

Montana regulations specify that the required CFPM should be someone who "operates" or manages the establishment. That could be an owner or senior manager, as long as they meet the criteria.  

Some employers may choose to require all of their chefs and managers to earn certification as a condition of employment, even though it exceeds the legal norm. 

What does a food manager do and how can they improve food safety? 

Foodservice and retail managers have a responsibility in many areas, from customer service to operations to human resources and team management. 

They're also responsible for food safety because it ties in with every one of their other responsibilities. To improve food safety, managers need to: 

  • Know local food safety regulations inside and out  
  • Create and enforce policies to ensure their establishment's compliance 
  • Train employees in food safety and check that they execute protocols properly 
  • Confirm that all food sources and deliveries meet safety standards  
  • And more 

Due to the level of accountability, food managers earn a significantly higher salary than servers and other food employees. According to wage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, here is the average amount of money you can expect to make in senior management positions in the Montana foodservice industry:  

Job Title  Average Hourly Wage Average Yearly Wage 
Food Service Manager  $27.50  $57,200 
Chef  $23.22  $48,290 

Montana-approved food safety manager certification is an important qualification for getting one of these jobs. 

Why are food managers in Montana required to get ANSI certification?  

Foodborne illness is a concern that every state should take seriously, including Montana. According to data from the Center for Science in the Public Interest, over a 10-year period (2003-2012), there were a total of 12 foodborne illness outbreaks in the state. Luckily, most common pathogens are preventable with the right food safety protocols in place. 

Since food managers set food safety policies, train staff in protocols, and ensure compliance, they're perfectly positioned to prevent foodborne illnesses. To make sure they're qualified to do this, they must demonstrate their knowledge by earning accredited food safety manager certification. 

ANSI-accredited certification programs meet the highest standards in food safety. ANSI CFPM certification has been endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
