Requirements To Complete

Certification Overview

Food handlers are required to obtain certification. In Texas, there are two levels of certification, the food protection manager certification and the food handlers’ certification. Every employee who comes into contact with food must be trained as a food handler. Training is valid for two years. The objectives of the food manager’s training program in Texas is to educate the food handlers, which provides more qualified employees, thereby reducing the risk of foodborne illness caused by improper food preparation and handling techniques.

The benefits to completing training include being able to become a food service manager, or the person in charge of the food service in a given establishment. Many employers will require this training prior to advancement. Certifications are good for three years, at which point the training must be taken again to receive a new card.
