FMI, Prometric partner to enhance food safety certification in retail stores
The CPFM exam is accredited by the American National Standards Institute and adheres to standards set forth by the Conference for Food Protection.
Food Marketing Institute (FMI), Arlington, Va., announced a 5-year partnership with Prometric, a Baltimore, Md.-based provider of test development and delivery solutions, to bring the Certified Food Protection Manager (CPFM) exam under the FMI SafeMark program. FMI will leverage Prometric’s extensive test delivery infrastructure to place exams in food retail stores and Prometric test centers.
"Food safety is the hallmark on grocers’ relationships with their customers," says Hilary Thesmar, vice president of food safety programs. "The nation’s food retailers do everything to maintain shopper trust, which is the primary reason FMI partnered with such a noted authority for food safety training and certifications. The benefit of this alliance is twofold, as we also value the professionals at retail ensuring these associates have the resources to effectively advance their careers."
