As a food establishment owner, it is important to be aware of, and adhere to, all legal responsibilities regarding food and drug safety violations. This includes being knowledgeable about relevant industry legislation such as the FDA Food Code, ensuring accurate record keeping related to temperature logs and personnel in-service training records. It's also important to conduct regular assessments of your facility (such as pest control surveys) in order ensure that no unsafe conditions exist.

Food establishment owners have a legal responsibility to ensure food and drug safety. To meet this obligation, they should create a food safety manual outlining safe harvesting, storage and cooking procedures for raw ingredients. Food establishments should also post signage warning customers about health hazards associated with eating undercooked or raw meat and other food products. Additionally, they should keep records of temperatures reached during cooking, review regularly inspected by the appropriate health authorities according to legal protocols and properly store perishables at least three inches off the floor. Lastly, employees must be trained on proper food-handling techniques before working in the establishment and receive regular refresher courses thereafter
