<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow can I sell tamales in Texas?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To sell your tamales in Texas, you must apply to set up a retail food establishment. Retail food establishments must operate out of approved, licensed, and inspected kitchen spaces. This could be a commissary kitchen or a kitchen within a restaurant establishment. All retail food establishments selling potentially hazardous foods, like tamales, will need retail food permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the owner of a retail food establishment, you must obtain a food manager certificate to ensure you understand proper food safety procedures. You can find approved food manager training programs here. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n A food truck, cart, or roadside stand would make the most sense for selling tamales. To start a tamale food truck or roadside stand, fill out the application here.<\/a> The application fee is currently $258.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep in mind that you may not prepare the tamales at the roadside stand. If you have any questions about how to sell food in Texas, check out the Texas Health and Human Services website here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your tamale truck or cart is up and running, start taking pre-orders on Airmart. The platform will allow you to arrange pickups, delivery, and catering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
