In order to reduce food safety risks in restaurants, the implementation of regular inspections and proper training of staff on food handling procedures are both important measures. Regular inspections should include checking expiration dates, verifying temperature controls, inspecting products for quality and appearance, checking cooking processes such as internal temperatures of meat and poultry products, checking work surfaces for contamination and examining cleanliness throughout the restaurant. The training should cover topics such as standard operating procedures for storage and cooking processes, hygiene tips while working with raw animals or seafood products, time-temperature control hazards associated with certain foods like sous-vide cooking styles and when cross contamination could occur due to environmental variables (such as wind).

Regular inspections and training staff on proper food handling procedures are important measures that should be taken to reduce food safety risks in restaurants. In addition, regular maintenance of kitchen equipment should be carried out to ensure that it is working properly and limit the chance of cross-contamination. Moreover, restaurant employees must use gloves and wear hats while handling food, as well as properly store and label all food items to maintain hygiene. Finally, frequent temperature control checks of the refrigerator compartments should be conducted.
