When running a restaurant, following food safety regulations is essential to keeping your costs down and staying afloat. Every kitchen should have documented HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) plans that identify potential hazards, risks and control measures relating to food safety. Additionally, the facility should comply with federal and local requirements regarding proper hygiene for all staff and visitors, as well as enforcing good practices such as safe storage temperatures for food. You should also conduct frequent testing of the environment, equip staff with necessary training on how to prevent violations of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) or other rules in your state or community. It’s important to always prioritize sanitary standards so that you can limit chances of infractions - avoiding costly fines and negative impacts on your reputation.

When it comes to food safety regulations, the most important thing is to always stay vigilant. Make sure that your employees understand the importance of following safe food handling procedures and practices. Have regular audits of your food storage practices and make sure your inventory records are up-to-date. Keep an emergency stockpile of supplies ready in case something happens suddenly. Finally, make sure that all employees wear gloves when handling food and wash their hands regularly. Doing this will help ensure that you adhere to all regulations without getting caught unawares.
