식품 안전 자격증 in Texas

Texas requires at least one certified food protection manager and — unlike most states — licenses its OWN Certified Food Manager exams through the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) in parallel with accepting any national ANSI/ANAB-accredited exam. DSHS's own paper exam is given in English and Spanish; a TXDSHS-licensed provider, StateFoodSafety, additionally offers the Texas manager exam in Vietnamese and Mandarin Chinese — a genuine non-English state-exam moat for Texas's large Vietnamese and Chinese food-service communities. (Nationally accepted providers add Chinese/Korean/Japanese on top.) Pass mark and DSHS exam fee are not published as a single figure.

Requirement and accepted-certification facts are confirmed from each state's official page (linked per row). Most states accept any nationally ANAB-CFP-accredited manager exam, so the exam LANGUAGE is set by the provider you pick (ServSafe/NRFSP offer Chinese, Korean and Japanese; Spanish is everywhere), not by the state — the exception is Texas's own DSHS-licensed exams and New York City's city exam. Pass marks and fees marked “to confirm” were not published on the official page. Always verify the current rule with your state or local health department before you register.
