SafeKey® food safety and risk management program protects lives
Protecting lives is essential to our purpose as a company. One of the most significant ways we live that purpose is through our SafeKey® food safety and risk management program.
The SafeKey program helps customers achieve optimal safety at every stage of food handling, thereby reducing the risk of food-borne illnesses. Our unique risk-management process provides our customers the expertise they need to reduce the risk of food-borne illnesses.
Food is an integral part of our customers' operations—at retail stores, restaurants, hotels and food and beverage processing plants. They rely on us to help them protect their brands, and most importantly, to protect their customers.
Our certified food safety experts closely inspect every food handling operation and provide a comprehensive report on food safety risk factors as well as solutions to reduce those risks.
We offer customers four distinct programs to reduce their food
safety risks:
- We train our customers' employees to comply with HACCP standards (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point). HACCP is the internationally recognized, science-based system to identify and reduce or eliminate food safety risks.
- We audit customer locations to evaluate the implementation of systematic food safety practices, evaluate compliance with food safety standards and recommend improvements.
- We audit our customers' suppliers to assure their compliance with food safety standards.
- We provide a respected third-party opinion on food safety matters for our customers' stakeholders.
For example:
- A major international convenience store operator asked us for help managing food safety practices.
- A multinational retailer relies on us to provide a respected third-party report to its stakeholders on food handling practices in its retail stores.
- Another international retailer calls on us to address food safety in the restaurants that are an integral part of its family-shopping environment.
