Our 6 Step Process
Our approach to food safety utilizes a Business Process Improvement (BPI) methodology which delivers value by creating a sustainable framework for improvement and redesign while establishing momentum for excellence across the entire program. Our goal is to help you become aware of where you program is, provide efficiency and focus and provide reinforcement for a new level of performance.
Our process flows continuously through this dynamic loop:
Step 1 – Analysis
Step 2 – Design
Step 3 – Training
Step 4 – Tools
Step 5 – Compliance
Step 6 – Reporting
Does your food safety strategy include these critical elements?
A food safety program needs to be forward-thinking while anticipating risks in an ever-changing environment. Our program is designed to identify new threats and implement best practices to ensure compliance and food safety continuity. Our holistic and systematic approach effectively reduces the risk of foodborne hazards from meal planning through to the point of service.
It is critical that all school sites implement the required elements necessary to be included in an HAACP-based food safety program.
This commitment requires staff education, training and reinforcement. There are a number of factors and touchpoints that need to be monitored to ensure the safety of foodservice operations and the ability to achieve an overall stellar food safety grade. Food Safety Solutions can help you standardize across your sites and make your implementations unified and robust.
SOPs serve as a fundamental starting point within your schools for applied food safety. Food Safety Solutions implements a working practice of sound procedures that protect your facility and customers. The right procedures prevent potentially hazardous occurrences, such as personal hygiene policies and proper care of food-contact surfaces.
The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHKFA) specifies professional standards for school nutrition professionals as a key provision. It requires all state directors of school nutrition programs, school nutrition program directors, managers and staff to complete a minimum number of training hours. The position and job requirements determine the necessary training topic areas. Your facility will require ongoing technical assistance and guidance to cover the depth of materials and compliance standards. Food Safety Solutions will seamlessly integrate professional standards training into your overall food safety program framework.
Sanitation, excellent hygeine practices and SOPs are essential requirements in any school safety program. These responsibilities need to be performed on a daily basis, ensuring that all food preparation areas are clean and sanitary and cross contamination is not an issue.
