How long is my certification good for?

That depends upon the authority body you are beholden to. Technically a HACCP certification does not have an expiration date. It may be required to renew based on employer, insurance, auditor, client, local or state requirements. For high-risk foods like meat, there are “requirements” that they are renewed every 3 – 5 years. It’s best to check with your auditor.
