Does Louisiana Require a Food Handler Card?

No — Louisiana doesn’t have a state food handler law, but most employers require anyone who handles food or works around food-contact surfaces to get a food handler card, usually within 30 days of starting the job. This video explains who needs one, how to get it online, and how to renew it before it expires — all with FoodSafePal.
