Important Changes to the Texas Food Establishment Regulations (PRINT HERE)
These changes are being made so Texas regulations will conform with the most current FDA food code (2013).
§228.34 Duties - “Non-typhoidal Salmonella” joins the previous list of 5 illnesses that need to be reported to authorities and require exclusion of the diagnosed food worker from the food facility
§228.38. Hands and Arms - Washing hands is required before donning gloves, but not in between changing gloves if same task is being done.
§228.33. Certified Food Protection Manager and Food Handler Requirements – (this applies to the County, as Food Handler Cards already required in the City) Added a new requirement that all food employees shall successfully complete a food handler training course, accredited by the department, within 60 days of employment.
§228.251 Report of Findings - Critical violations changed to priority and priority foundation violations, and non-critical violations are now called core violations. Possible debited violations increased from 27 items to 47 items on new inspection form.
§228.222. Temporary Food Establishments - Temporary establishments shall have at least one person on site that has an accredited food handler certification.
§228.221. Mobile Food Requirements - Toilet rooms shall be conveniently located and accessible to employees during all hours of operation. A mobile must provide a copy of the last central preparation facility inspection report, a servicing area authorization, and a menu.
§228.75 Temperature and time control - More requirements were added for “time is a public health control” for cold foods. Cold foods may now be held without temperature control for up to 6 hours or up to 70°F if removed from refrigeration at 41°F, documented and monitored.
§228.71 Cooking - Non-continuous cooking now only requires a re-heat, not to 165°F as previously required for all reheats, but only to the required cooking temperature for that particular food.
§228.65 Preventing contamination by employees - Added the requirement that the permit holder must obtain prior approval from the regulatory authority before conducting bare hand contact activities with ready-to-eat foods.
