Beginning July 1, 2018, the Idaho Food Code (IFC), Section 2-102.12, requires each food establishment to have a minimum of one (1) accredited food protection manager (AFPM).

For temporary food establishments, we will accept a copy of your AFPM certificate issued by a nationally recognized organization or a copy of the certificate gained from passing the State of Idaho's Temporary Food Vendor Exam. There is no cost for the exam and it will be offered at our offices by appointment only. To schedule, please call 208-523-5382.
