Person In Charge
The new food code requires that a Person in Charge (PIC) is available on the premises at all times while the facility is operating. That means that if the PIC is the manager, but the manager needs to go to the bank or is out on lunch, there has to be another PIC available during their absence.
At least one PIC must be certified through an ANSI Accredited Certified Food Protection Manager Program. They do not need to be present during the inspection; however, if the PIC is not accredited, they must be able to answer the inspector's questions on food safety.
There are 7 (and only 7) courses that are ANSI Accredited Certified Food Protection Manager Programs and they are found below.
