As a restaurateur, you know that the quality and flavor of the food you serve isn't all that makes your operation a success. Food safety has become an increasingly hot topic among restaurant operators, managers, employees and diners alike. Here's why:

• Health Department inspection results are often reported in local newspapers and scores must be posted at your entrance
  
• Having a strong food safety program in place can result in a reduction of 10 to 15 percent in your liability insurance premiums
  
• Cooking foods to the correct temperatures improves food quality
  
• Proper handling and storage can reduce waste and lower your food costs

The Food Safety Audit provided by CNS/FoodSafe to SYSCO customers offers practical solutions that help you benefit from these considerations simply and effectively, at a rate you can afford. We audit the flow of food from receiving through service, identifying priority issues and offering insights into best practices that are easy to understand and implement, and that meet your local regulations. Customers who perform well receive our We Made the Grade window decal or wall plaque, which are a great way to show customers you care!

As an added value, SYSCO Food Safety Audit customers receive free assistance with investigation and reporting of foodborne illness complaints, including interviewing the person with the complaint for relevant information.

Founded in 1986, CNS/FoodSafe has an experienced, nationwide staff with recognized expert credentials, and we are committed to providing the highest-quality service. Our ongoing training and quality assurance programs ensure our auditors have the know-how to help you make the grade.
