At least one employee, the person in charge at the time of inspection, holds a food protection manager certificate from an accredited program. The Division grants a standing variance to very low, low and medium risk establishments, so a coffee shop or bakery may face a lighter rule than a full restaurant; ask the Office which risk category you fall in.
