What happens to a person in charge who has failed the food protection manager exam because of a language barrier?
If a person in charge has failed the food protection manager exam twice and has taken training, the establishment may apply for a variance from the local board of health to be exempt from the certification requirement, as stated in 105 CMR 590.003(5). The Department fully supports the issuance of such a variance for establishments that are in compliance with the other provisions of 590.000.
