The CAIBOK 4102 Competency Exam in Food Safety for Managers evaluates a chef’s ability to lead food safety practices in a restaurant or foodservice operation. It focuses on building a strong food safety culture, enforcing hygiene policies, and maintaining legal and ethical standards. Chefs are tested on how to organize teams, delegate responsibilities, and create systems that ensure food safety at every stage—from receiving to serving. The exam also covers writing and communicating policies, training staff, handling allergens, and managing special cooking techniques like sous vide and raw foods.

The exam includes in-depth topics such as responding to food safety incidents, working with health authorities, preventing foodborne illness, and using new technologies to improve safety.

The goal is to ensure that chefs can protect customers and staff by applying leadership, science, and law to every part of kitchen operations.
