The ServSafe Food Protection Manager Certification is recognized by the Virginia Department of Health as meeting the requirements to be a certified food protection manager.
VCE offers the program locally to food service workers at restaurants, hospitals, schools, child care centers, and other food serving establishments. Participants receive instruction regarding food safety concepts such as sanitation, food storage, safety regulations, pest management, and safe food handling practices.
The Virginia Food Regulations require that each food establishment employ at least one certified food protection manager who has supervisory and management responsibilities.
