The Importance of Food Safety from a Food Safety Expert Witness
Without Food Safety systems you risk the chance of sickening people from your food, or potentially dying in worst-case scenarios. Not only will this result in serious legal consequences for you and your company, but it will also destroy the reputation of your business and brand name(s). Food Safety is not just important for the safety of your customers but it protects your employees as well. Food that is not properly prepared can also sicken your staff. For example, a cook who touches raw meat directly with their hands and then does not wash them properly could be at risk for bacterial and other microbial infections. By protecting those who eat your food and those who produce it, you are also protecting yourself. Without a proper Food Safety program, your restaurant or food manufacturing operation will not be able to succeed and thrive.
What is Quality Assurance
Many people use the terms “quality assurance” and “quality control” interchangeably, but they are actually two different functions despite being related. Quality Assurance indicates the systems put into place to ensure that a company’s quality and safety standards are being controlled and meet all the specifications established. Quality Control is whatever measures are being taken on an ongoing basis to ensure that all products being produced are meeting specific standards and every aspect of customers’ specifications. To make sure this is accomplished, proper oversight is critical, including timely audits and inspections. Time and temperature are key to proper restaurant operations, as well as proper HACCP Plans (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points). Ms. Beck understands this and has extensive expertise in the food and restaurant industries to help you review your current Quality Assurance systems or to serve as an Expert Witness.
