The Louisiana Restaurant Association (LRA) just learned that a Utah company has been spamming
Gulf South restaurateurs with deceptive calls referencing faulty required food safety
and sanitation courses. A cease and desist was issued by ANSI through efforts
of the National Restaurant Association as a result. The LRA is your state
approved trusted resource for all food safety and sanitation, alcohol server,
food handler and allergens training courses.

Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals. ServSafe Alcohol Training Online
is required by the Louisiana Alcohol Tobacco Control. As a member of the
LRA, you receive a significant discount on all ServSafe products, both required

ServSafe Alcohol Online
Launched last
summer, ServSafe Alcohol Online training is the first of its kind in
Louisiana and replaces the need for servers of alcoholic beverages to attend a
class in person. The ATC mandated, two-hour ServSafe Alcohol Online course is
available 24/7 anywhere servers have access to a PC and the internet. LRA
members receive a 10 percent discount on the regular $30 cost.
VOLUNTARY:
ServSafe Food Handler
ServSafe Food Handler is designed to add an additional layer of protection
for your restaurant’s patrons. The two-hour course is available online for just
$15 and provides your staff with the basic knowledge they need to serve your
guests in a safety and sanitary manner.
ServSafe Allergens
The most recent
product released by the LRA is ServSafe
Allergens—a 90-minute
online course developed to assist restaurant staff in serving the 15 million
Americans with food allergies safely. This voluntary course teaches restaurant
staff about the various food allergies and implications for guests, how to
properly communicate with guests and other restaurant staff, and proper
procedures for front and back of the house staff, avoiding cross contact,
inventory and preparation controls and what to do in case of an emergency. With
the increased demand for gluten-free menu options and other alterations, this
course can help you become more trusted among diners with food allergies. The
cost for LRA members is $19.80.
If you receive a call of this type referenced above or have
any questions, please call the LRA at (504) 454-2277 today.
