The purpose of the food safety program is to ensure the safety of retail food establishments through inspections, trainings, plan reviews, and other contact focusing on food safety practices, employee hygiene, and facility compliance with state regulations.
The actual amount of food borne illnesses each year in this country is not known but has been estimated to be as high as 76 million cases per year by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). A thorough restaurant inspection program is instrumental in keeping these numbers low.
