Food & Hotels

The Iowa Food Protection Task Force provides Iowa food vendors with a library of resources to ensure their facilities are clean and their products are safe for consumption. Resources available range from farmers market safety guidelines to information for food processing facilities. You can use these resources to familiarize yourself with the basic requirements, best practices, and recommendations associated with your specific business.

In order to provide the best, most thorough resources available, the task force consists of members at the state, federal, and local levels in a variety of government positions, trade associations, academic roles, and more.

Food Training

FDA Food Code 2-102.12 requires that the person in charge of a food establishment be a certified food protection manager (CFPM) who has shown proficiency of required information through passing a test that is part of an accredited program.

These courses all meet the training requirement for Iowa's home food processing establishments (HFPEs).
