Active FoodSafety provides two critical components to help you address food safety and public health risk while growing your business:

Technology deployment in partnership with technology providers that provide effective turn-key Food Safety Management Systems to ensure regulatory compliance and prevent foodborne disease illnesses and outbreaks
! - The Brand/products have had sporadic customer complaints of foodborne illnesses or product defects
! - There have been several recent food safety recalls or product quality withdrawals
! - There has been an FDA Warning Letter (483) in any manufacturing facility
! - The food safety management systems of the food manufacturer are not based on Food Safety Management Systems rules (hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls, or HARPC) nor Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) certification
! - Health Department Inspections of foodservice facilities find critical violations (foodborne illness risk factors)
! - There are customer complaints of illness reported to the Brand/products and/or on social media outlets
! - There are complaints about the foodservice menu items due to supplier errors

The Enterprise Mastery™ Standard is the business management process you implement in your organization to manage food safety risk - through your business - not against it. It takes food safety risk mitigation beyond the concept of “Industry Best Practice” or “Gold Standard” leveraging our extensive and proven business management and public health knowledge with a foundation based on the FDA Food Code and CDC guidance to:
Prevent sporadic foodborne illnesses not just foodborne disease outbreaks
Reduce cost to increase profits
Leverage business functions within the organization to affect all aspects of food safety management (e.g., facilities design, pest control, equipment maintenance, menu development, procurement, training, supply chain, foodservice operations, marketing)
Enhance customer experience, loyalty, and confidence
Improve health inspection grades/scores
Reduce customer complaints and claims of food poisoning
Protect the brand to enable growth
An engagement with Active Food Safety can begin with a stand-alone Gap Assessment of your current Food Safety Management Program to help you determine what program and/or systems are necessary for your organization to achieve the Enterprise Mastery™ of food safety and public health risk mitigation. From there, a stepwise engagement can be established to prioritize and implement the systems you need throughout the organization to achieve active and consistent management to prevent foodborne illness and other public health threats to grow your business.
Contact UsThe three primary components of the Enterprise Mastery™ of food safety risk in a retail foodservice business are:
1. The management (Food Safety Program Commitment) of the proper controls established after Risk Vetting of the menu to identify all of the hazards associated with the processes of food production. These include:
a. Supplier controls – approved ingredients and products (including packaging) used in the restaurants
b. Foodservice operations controls
c. Distribution and logistics controls of ingredients and products delivered to the restaurants.
The critical component of Enterprise Mastery™ is in the execution of the controls and the confidence that each restaurant/foodservice establishment is in compliance on a daily basis. Ultimately, a Food Safety Culture is developed from achieving Enterprise Mastery™ which then reduces cost, increases profit, and grows the business by consistent customer experiences desired by the business.
