All Frisco food employees must complete an accredited food handler course within sixty days of hire, and at least one certified food protection manager is required at every Texas food establishment under state and county rules.
Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 438 requires food employees in licensed establishments to obtain a food handler certificate from a state-accredited program within sixty days of hire, valid for two years. In addition, 25 TAC §229.176 and Texas Food Establishment Rules require each retail food establishment to designate at least one Certified Food Protection Manager who has passed an ANSI-accredited exam. Collin County Environmental Health verifies certification cards during routine inspections of Frisco restaurants and grocery delis. Frisco does not impose a separate municipal training requirement on top of the state rule.
Missing food handler cards or absence of a certified manager are recorded as inspection violations, can require corrective action within thirty days, and may delay permit renewal until evidence of training is produced.
