  • Wyoming FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

    Is food manager certification required in Wyoming?

    Yes. The Wyoming Department of Agriculture requires that food establishments classified as high-risk operations have at least one Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) on staff. This ensures food safety is properly managed in facilities that handle or prepare potentially hazardous foods.

    What are Wyoming's Regulations for Certified Food Managers?

    As per the Wyoming Food Rule, the individual designated as the PIC"person in charge", must demonstrate comprehension of:

    1. Preventing foodborne illnesses
    2. Applying HACCP principles
    3. Understanding the requirements of the Rule

    The Rule outlines two methods for fulfilling this requirement. Firstly, one can effectively respond to the inspector's inquiries pertaining to the particular foodservice establishment or processing plant.

    Alternatively, one can attain certification as a food protection manager by passing an accredited test, such as the ANAB-CFP Accredited Certified Food Protection Manager provided by EduClasses FMC Food Managers Certification.

    Although not mandated at the state level, certain Wyoming counties enforce stricter regulations. For instance, as of January 1, 2015, Teton County mandates that every licensed establishment have at least one employee holding supervisory and managerial responsibilities certified as a food protection manager.

    Fortunately, most establishments recognize ANAB-CFP accredited programs. Nevertheless, it's prudent to verify additional training requirements with your local health department and employer.
