Food handlers course offered
Deadline to register is January 17
The “Texas Food Establishment Rules (TFER)” was revised and updated and became effective Oct. 11, 2015. A major change in the revision required all food employees to complete an accredited food handlers training program within 60 days of employment, which became effective Sept. 16, 2016.
A food handlers course accredited by the Texas Department of State Health Services is being offered by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, Bandera County. Food Safety: It’s In Your Hands is scheduled for Jan. 19, starting at 9 a.m., at the Extension office at 2886 Hwy 16 N. Bandera, TX 78003.
This one- to two-hour course will now be required for all food service employees to help promote the service of safe food. The certificate is good for two years and is valid anywhere in the State of Texas. The course is a basic overview of food safety practices that are necessary to ensure that safe food is served at your establishment. Practices discussed include good personal hygiene, cross contamination, and time and temperature abuse.
