NRFSP Grocery Store Food Safety Manager case studies
NRFSP Grocery Store Food Safety Manager · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Grocery Store Manager Certification is one of the Food Safety Manager Certification exams offered by the National Registry of Food Safety Professionals (NRFSP), an independent certification body. It is designed for managers and supervisors in grocery and retail food settings who are responsible for food safety practices across departments such as deli, bakery, meat, seafood, produce, and prepared foods. NRFSP describes its exams as asking questions that reveal an employee's ability to prepare and serve food safely rather than their ability to take a test, and it emphasizes that the presence of a Certified Food Protection Manager was the major difference between outbreak and non-outbreak restaurants in a 2013-2014 FDA investigation into CFPMs and food safety risk factors. The exam is delivered in multiple-choice format, and NRFSP offers flexible scheduling: candidates can test at home, at a Pearson VUE testing center, or with a proctor, in online and paper-and-pencil formats. The NRFSP Grocery Store Food Safety Manager case studies are 5 cases and about 2,901 words.
