Want to know how to prevent food poisoning from happening in your restaurant? Cases of food poisoning can destroy a restaurant’s reputation quickly and without a second thought. It’s in the best interest of restaurant operators, owners, and staff to make sure that ALL food safety and sanitation guidelines are enforced and followed strictly. There are a few key steps restaurants can take to prevent food poisoning in their establishments. First, make sure that all employees and kitchen staff are aware of sanitation guidelines. Any employees that regularly handle food should be Serv-Safe certified and receive regular training on food preparation laws and guidelines. Restaurants should receive regular inspections from the health department and immediately correct any issues found. Employees should also know the rules for coming to work and working with food when sick. Make sure your company has a reasonable sick policy – don’t force your employees to work when sick. You can offer paid sick leave days to full-time employees to encourage them to stay home when sick. These practices and more will help prevent cases of food poisoning and will keep both your staff and your customers safe from food-borne illnesses.
