South Dakota Wants One Certified Manager at Each Establishment...
Since 1997, South Dakota law has required that at least one individual in each foodservice establishment be a Certified Foodservice Manager. Certificates are often displayed in the establishments to show customers your business's commitment to safety and to fulfill state heath exam requirements. You can take pride in having you name upon that wall knowing that you have the knowledge to serve food safely and make sure others do the same. Managers will need to re-certify their certificates every 4 years to stay qualified.
