Restaurants and Food Safety Culture 👩🍳 🍱 Restaurant managers help set the tone for a strong food safety culture by showing a personal commitment to food safety and having food safety training and policies in place. Adequate supplies for food safety practices and employee commitment to food safety are also critical to having a strong food safety culture at a restaurant. What is food safety culture? A restaurant’s food safety culture is the shared beliefs of restaurant personnel that affect their practices in ways that impact food safety. A weak food safety culture is emerging as a common risk factor for foodborne outbreaks. The food safety beliefs and behaviors of restaurant personnel could affect a restaurant’s food safety practices. The food safety culture of a restaurant either promotes or discourages safe food practices. The four key components of a strong food safety culture in restaurants: ◾ Leadership: Managers offer food safety training and policies. ◾ Manager Commitment: Managers are committed to and prioritize food safety. ◾ Employee Commitment: Employees are committed to food safety. ◾ Resources: The restaurant has sufficient resources to support food safety, such as enough soap and sinks for handwashing. #FoodSafetyCulture #RestaurantSafety #FoodSafetyLeadership #ManagerCommitment #EmployeeCommitment #ResourcesForSafety

🌟 Food Safety at its peak! Do this or close down👨🦱🌟 Day 7 Have you found the food safety tips I’ve shared for the past six days trilling? Today I’ll talk to you about that aspect of the supply chain that involves full time involvement of both Management and workers which is “the critical realm of regulatory compliance in beverage production”. Much like obeying traffic laws ensures a smooth and safe journey on the road, adhering to regulations and standards is paramount for upholding the integrity and safety of beverages. Regulatory compliance encompasses a myriad of laws, regulations, and industry standards that govern every aspect of beverage production, from sourcing ingredients to packaging and distribution. By adhering to these requirements, beverage producers demonstrate their commitment to delivering products that meet the highest standards of quality and safety. Hang on as we navigate the intricate landscape of regulatory requirements, exploring the complexities of compliance and the rigorous measures taken to ensure adherence to industry standards. Together, let's celebrate the dedication and diligence of beverage producers in upholding the highest levels of quality and safety. Stay tuned for tomorrow's installment, where we'll venture into the transformative power of continuous improvement in enhancing food safety practices, driving innovation, and raising the bar for excellence in beverage production.

Interesting tool shared by the CDC to help restaurant managers and staff understand how to assess and score food safety culture with example questions for a survey. Food safety is a critical topic for everyone throughout the food industry, with opportunity for continuous improvement. There is a great guidance document available to everyone in the industry in the form of PAS 320, which was published earlier this year, that provides the framework for using data to understand the level of food safety culture maturity, how to build an effective food safety culture team, how to embed positive change and how to sustain continuous improvements to food safety culture.

Does your restaurant have this predictor of food safety success? In a recent webinar about the return on investment of food safety programs, leaders from Steritech shared some telling research from the USDA. The research emphasized how important it is to not only have a strong food safety program, but also to combine it with managers who can discuss it knowledgeably. Specifically, it found that quick-service restaurants that lacked this combination generated 4.7 high-risk violations on average per inspection, compared to 1.7 violations for those that had a strong program and knowledgeable managers. Making this connection turned out to be a strong predictor of food safety success in these restaurants. If your food safety is lagging in certain areas, could it help to connect the dots between your program and the managers in charge of overseeing it?

Maximize your food safety program’s return on investment In an environment where restaurants are being extra cautious about spending, directing resources toward food safety can feel like an investment that doesn’t give back as much as it should. But as food safety experts shared during a recent webinar from the National Restaurant Association and Steritech, restaurants that are committed to food safety experience benefits such as fewer issues with guests around food quality and safety, easier inspections (and less need for reinspections and follow-up training), and better records of recruiting and retaining staff. To realize those benefits, they said, restaurants must set clear and measurable goals; collect and analyze accurate, frequent, consistent data to measure performance against goals; then report back to the organization so everyone knows what needs to be done to close the gap and what they can do to help the business reach its goals. Any goals should be SMART: Specific, measurable, action-based, realistic and time-bound. Specifically, there should be systems in place to allow you to measure what’s happening, people have to understand what steps they must take to reach their goals and have the tools they need to handle their tasks, and there should be clear, connected milestones to keep everyone on track. Looking at your own food safety program, are there gaps that this structure can help you fill and help you generate a stronger return on your investment?
