Your business can ensure it is adhering to environmental law and public health regulations regarding food safety by implementing rigorous internal safety protocols. This should include daily sanitization of all surfaces, handling and storage of food items in accordance with industry standards, proper employee health screenings and documentation of those screenings, maintenance of mandated temperatures when storing different types of food items, constant inspection and monitoring for signs of food-borne illnesses or pests, detailed written procedures describing the steps your business must take during an outbreak scenario, ongoing training for all staff members in safe food handling and hygiene methods, periodic auditing to test your staff’s understanding of safe practices and document the results through thorough recordkeeping. Additionally there are several online resources such as regulatory publications available from agencies like the US Food & Drug Administration that can help to keep you up-to-date on changes in safety procedures that may be applicable to your business. By utilizing these resources along with implementing appropriate internal protocols you will be well equipped to operate a successful environmentally compliant food operation.
