CERTIFIED FOOD MANAGER GUIDELINES
Food establishments operating in Fairfax County (including the Cities of Fairfax and Falls Church) must be
under the immediate control of a Certified Food Manager (CFM). However, an establishment defined as a
“Limited Food Establishment” may operate under the control of a Limited Certified Food Manager (LCFM).
A Limited Food Establishment is one that serves only hotdogs or frankfurter-type foods,
pre-packaged foods, or foods that are not potentially hazardous.
