Persons desiring to work in an establishment as food protection management personnel,
as defined in Section 9.12.010, shall obtain a food protection management certificate from the director within sixty
days from the day of his or her employment, or successfully complete and provide proof
of completion of a food protection management certification program approved by the
director. At least one food protection management person per establishment must be
certified. However, if a person left in charge by food protection management personnel
can respond correctly during a food inspection to the questions listed in the Texas
Food Establishment Rules, under Section 228.32 Knowledge, that person need not obtain
certification as a food protection manager. The person(s) responsible for food operations
within a care facility and whose primary duties include, but are not limited to, supervision
of kitchen personnel, food handling, food preparation and storage, is required to
obtain a food protection management certificate. Persons providing proof of completion
of a food protection management certification program, approved by the director, must
present the certificate to the director and pay the fee identified in the adopted
budget resolution for the current fiscal year or other appropriately adopted resolution
by the city council.
