Food Manager Certification Class and Exam by State » Illinois

WHAT ARE THE ILLINOIS FOOD SAFETY REGULATIONS? 

In Illinois, you can find training and certification requirements for food safety in the Food Handling Regulation Enforcement Act (410 ILCS 625). The Act states that food service establishments must always have at least one certified food manager on hand at all times. Otherwise, you could face penalties. 

Additionally, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has recently amended the Act to eliminate the Illinois Food Service Sanitation Manager Certification (FSSMC). Beginning January 1, 2018, you are no longer required to also apply for an FSSMC—except in the city of Chicago.

We always recommend checking with your local health department for any additional certification and training requirements.
