Summary of Code Requirements: Oregon has adopted the 1999 FDA Food Code and a food manager with Food Protection Manager Certification will meet the requirement for Demonstration of Knowlwdge. If a food handler has a food protection manager certification, the certification replaces the food handler certification requirement. Also if a food service facility is closed, then the operator must obtain food protection manager certification as part of the requirement for re-opening. http://www.ohd.hr.state.or.us/esc/food/welcome.htm http://www.ohd.hr.state.or.us/esc/food/welcome.htm
