Food Safety Certification in Georgia

GA Dept. of Public Health — Food Service Rules 511-6-1

Georgia requires at least one employee with supervisory and management responsibility to be a certified food protection manager who passed a test that is part of an accredited program (Food Service Rules 511-6-1). Georgia recognizes only exams accredited by ANSI as meeting the Conference for Food Protection (CFP) criteria — there is no Georgia-specific exam — so the manager exam's languages follow the national providers (ServSafe/NRFSP: Chinese, Korean, Japanese plus Spanish). Our bank is English, Chinese and Spanish.

Requirement and accepted-certification facts are confirmed from each state's official page (linked per row). Most states accept any nationally ANAB-CFP-accredited manager exam, so the exam LANGUAGE is set by the provider you pick (ServSafe/NRFSP offer Chinese, Korean and Japanese; Spanish is everywhere), not by the state — the exception is Texas's own DSHS-licensed exams and New York City's city exam. Pass marks and fees marked “to confirm” were not published on the official page. Always verify the current rule with your state or local health department before you register.
