Food Handler is anyone who works as an employee handling food packages, equipment, utensils, and contact surfaces. This includes bartenders, hostesses, buses, and kitchen staff to name a few. 

To work in Texas, these professionals must complete a Food Handler training course from a provider that is approved by the Texas Department of State Health Services or is accredited by ANSI. Food handlers need to have their certificate available to show an inspector. 

Food handlers certificates are typically valid for two years unless stated otherwise on the certificate, so you'll need to retake the course every few years to stay in compliance. Once you clear the course, you will receive a downloadable certificate which you can print or email to your employer. 

If you sell or serve alcohol or check IDs in an establishment that sells alcohol, you'll also need a TABC seller-server training certificate. You can get your Food Handler and TABC training in one place from learn2serve.com. Our certification packages are designed to help students get the certificates they need quickly and easily so they can get back to work as professional food handlers and servers. Sign up today.
