Wayne County food establishments must employ a Certified Food Protection Manager during operating hours under the Michigan Modernized Food Law, with WCPHS verifying certification during inspections.
Under the Michigan Modernized Food Law (MCL 289.2129), every licensed food service establishment in Wayne County must have at least one Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) on staff. The CFPM must hold a credential from an ANSI-accredited program such as ServSafe, NRFSP, or Prometric and renew every five years. WCPHS inspectors verify the certification during routine visits and may issue priority foundation violations when no manager is on duty. Michigan does not currently require all food handlers to hold individual cards, unlike some states, but operators must train staff on safe food handling. Detroit follows the same statewide rule.
Operating without a CFPM, expired certifications, or failure to produce documentation during inspection can trigger priority foundation violations and re-inspection fees.
