Per the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, "Article 20-C of the New York State Agriculture and Markets Law was recently amended to establish a food safety education certification requirement for certain retail food stores which prepare food on the premises.

The amendments require, with certain exceptions for small establishments, that every retail food store that applies for a food processing establishment license furnish evidence that an individual from within the store has been recognized as having completed an approved food safety education program. The license application is required to be accompanied by documentation which demonstrates that this food safety education requirement has been met. In most cases this documentation will be a certificate indicating an individual in a position of management or control has attended an approved course. A failure to comply with the education requirements will result in the denial of the food processing license."

New York food manager candidates must complete the NYSDAM-approved food safety training or if your in New York City you get trained and certified by New York City Health.

Though if you are employed and they want you to take an ANAB-CFP (ANSI) accredited program, then please sign up for FMC^® Food Managers Certification.
