Why You Need Texas DSHS-Approved Training
In Texas, the law requires all food employees to complete an accredited food handler training course within 60 days of employment. However, not all courses are created equal. Using a provider approved by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) ensures that your training meets the rigorous standards set by state legislation and local health ordinances. Our TX81 license signifies that our curriculum covers every essential topic, from critical handwashing protocols to the precise internal cooking temperatures of potentially hazardous foods. When you carry a DSHS-approved certificate, you carry the professional assurance that you are trained to prevent foodborne illnesses effectively and maintain a sanitary work environment.

For employers, seeing an ACE Food Handler certificate means they can trust the competency of their staff and avoid potential fines during inspections.
