Our Commitment to Food Safety Never Stops

We focus on food safety so you can focus on business.

National Food Safety Month was created in 1994 by the National Restaurant Association to heighten the awareness about the importance of food safety education. Each year a new theme and free training activities are created for restaurants and the industry to help reinforce proper food safety practices and procedures.
 
Our experts group stay on the cutting edge of food safety for the foodservice industry. The team is composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds that include experience in food service operations, regulatory affairs, industry suppliers, food manufacturing, and food science. Team members are involved with national and international committees related to food safety. They regularly speak and present on food safety topics relevant to current issues and the future of food safety.
