MissionTo collaborate with our partners to create behavior based solutions that mitigate or eliminate the inherent risks in operating a food service or food manufacturer. Background The CDC has identified the risk factors implicated as the cause of food borne illnesses. Not surprising, these risk factors involve the specific behaviors of management and food handlers. If we can highlight these risky behaviors and create processes and practices that proactively prevent them, then we can effectively control illness and injuries while creating high quality and great tasting food. That is the strategy behind Food Safety Rx. Contact me today so I will help you enhance your systems and quality.
