Is there a grace period for updating my Texas Food Handler certification after it expires?
Texas regulations mandate food servers to complete an accredited food handler training course within 30 days of commencing a food-handling job. However, if you’re currently employed in a food-handling role, there isn’t a designated grace period for updating after certification expiration. It’s crucial to update your certification before the expiration to ensure continuous compliance with state regulations and seamless continuation of your food handling duties.
