Massachusetts requires two separate certifications for anyone selling or distributing food at a public event, under state sanitary code 105 CMR 590.
Food Safety Manager Certificate (ServSafe or equivalent). Every food establishment must have a certified food protection manager on-site. This certification requires passing an exam from an accredited provider (ServSafe is one option among several) and is valid for five years once earned. The state maintains an official list of approved training providers and exam options. See the Massachusetts Food Protection Manager Certification Exam and Trainer Directory for local trainers, including several in the Boston area.
ANSI Approved Allergen Awareness Certificate. Since 2009, Massachusetts has required all food establishments to have staff trained in food allergen awareness, including recognizing major allergens and preventing cross-contact. Full guidance, approved training materials, and required signage are available on the state’s Food Allergen Awareness Guidance page.
Both certificates must be submitted with your vendor application and are due by December 1, 2026
