Allergen Management Training and Certification

Today a multitude of industries are rushing to address the needs and protect the health of people coping with food allergies. Some states have passed legislation – and more are expected to – requiring food service operators to train their employees in this emerging area of consumer safety.

AllerTrain™

AllerTrain™ is an ANSI accredited, manager level, food allergy and gluten-free training course. The course teaches food service professionals about the top foods causing food allergies, proper protocol for preparing food to avoid cross-contact and how to better serve diners with special dietary needs. Also covered are recommendations for policy implementation and information on current legislation.

This training will help restaurants take steps to better handle gluten-free requests, avoid food allergy related incidents, and prepare them to handle such incidents, should they occur.

Bob and Plum Safety conducted opening school lunch Allergen and HACCP training for my staff.  He was engaging and presented the information in a way that was easy for my staff to understand.  The feedback I got from them was very positive.  They feel invested as part of the school lunch team and our year is off to a great start!

This was the best Servsafe class that I have taken. The instructor was excellent and kept it interesting.

This is 3rd time renewing my servsafe. Plum Safety gave the best class I have ever been to. Full of information and made sure all my questions were answered. Kept in contact with me and about test dates and helped me get into a class that work with my schedule. I would highly recommended them to anyone who needs to take the test.

Our brewpub restaurant recently contracted the services of Plum Safety for a ServSafe Alcohol training class. The trainers were very professional, engaging and presented the content in a fun and compelling manner. Role-playing was particularly helpful as it took us out of our comfort zone and confronted us all with situations we always hoped we could avoid, but prepared us for them if and when they occur. All front of house staff were taught how to spot intoxicated guests and to work as a team to assure the safety of the guest, other patrons, our employees and the public in general.  They learned how to prevent our guests from becoming intoxicated past the legal limits, how to deal with unruly guests, how to prevent underage drinkers and how these situations can directly affect our business, their paychecks, and our local community. Sometimes the upfront & the out-of-pocket expense of a safe alcohol service course seems cumbersome, but the value provided and the long-term benefits and savings provided by Plum Safety is beyond measure. Plum Safety ServSafe Alcohol training is a must for anyone who wants to run a legitimate and everlasting business serving alcohol.
