Food for thought: America's food supply is the most secure, affordable and dependable in the world -- and the restaurant industry is working to keep it that way.
- We supported the enactment of the Food Safety Modernization Act, lending the industry's decades of experience and cutting-edge expertise to ensure that the goals of the Act are met.
- Restaurants have stringent controls to ensure that they purchase safe products. We work closely with supply chain partners to identify and eliminate food safety threats.
- We created the highest standard of food safety training in the industry. Today, 4.6 million certifications have been awarded to restaurant employees who have completed our ServSafe program.
- We're working with industry leaders this September as Food Safety Education Month educates the public on our record of safety and service to American consumers.
America's restaurants take pride in serving safe, affordable and nutritious food.
