To legally sell alcohol samples, the staff must be certified in what?

  1. Serve Safe Certification

  2. Smart Serve Certification

  3. Food Handler Certification

  4. Alcohol Awareness Certification

The correct answer is: Smart Serve Certification

The correct answer is Smart Serve Certification because this certification specifically prepares staff in Ontario to responsibly serve alcohol and understand the legal obligations associated with alcohol service. It covers topics such as recognizing signs of intoxication, preventing minors from consuming alcohol, and managing safe service in a licensed establishment. This training ensures that staff are equipped with the knowledge necessary to handle alcohol responsibly and comply with provincial laws. While Serve Safe Certification, Food Handler Certification, and Alcohol Awareness Certification may cover important aspects of food safety or general alcohol knowledge, they do not specifically address the responsibilities and legalities tied to serving alcohol in Ontario. Smart Serve Certification is tailored to meet the requirements for anyone involved in serving alcoholic beverages, making it the essential certification for legal alcohol sample sales.
