Active Managerial Control Materials
Active Managerial Control (AMC) is the purposeful use of policies and procedures in the food establishment to control foodborne illness risk factors. Every person in charge must have AMC and ensure food safety requirements are followed. These sample template forms are part of an AMC Toolkit to assist food establishment operators in developing policies and procedures for review, training, and monitoring food safety risks.

- Active Managerial Control and Certified Food Protection Manager
- Most establishments are required to have at least one employee with a Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) certificate. The CFPM must make sure managers are trained, procedures are developed, and food safety requirements are understood and followed. The CFPM does not need to be on premises but is expected to have a key role in ensuring food safety. A person may be the CFPM for multiple establishments. View the list of ANSI accredited organizations that issue CFPM certificates.
