The ethics enforcement procedures are intended to permit a fair review of alleged violations of the ACF Certification Code of Professional Ethics or other egregious conduct in a manner that protects the rights of individuals while promoting understanding and ethical behavior. The Certification Commission has the authority to impose discipline, including removal of certification where appropriate, and to delegate such decisions to the Review Panel.
A complaint that a culinary professional has allegedly violated the ACF Code of Ethics at an ACF certification-related event must be submitted in writing to the Certification Commission Executive Committee. The complainant need not be a member of the American Culinary Federation or certified by the ACF.
