Turning best practices into a culture of safety and excellence using rigorous performance assessments, interactive consultation and task-focused training
In a previous job, I provided food safety auditing and consulting to a major national retailer. I won’t name them, however if you were to presume that this retailer’s team members wear red shirts and khaki pants, I would say you hit the bullseye. The grocery teams struggled with proper vertical separation of raw and ready-to-eat foods, particularly because this retailer’s standards were far higher than FDA Code and because there did not seem to be much in the way of signage or job aids to guide and remind them. Because I was citing a high-risk critical violation for improper raw meat/fish storage on more than 80% of my store evaluations. I approached my employer to ask if we might design such a job aid and was told “That’s not our problem, that’s their problem. Just do the audit, check the boxes, and move on to the next one.” Because I’d joined this company to teach, coach and drive improvement, I made this MY problem, and I created an infographic that presented the information in a fun and easy to understand format. I then offered PDF copies to each of my stores as they gathered the (red and khaki clad) grocery team for a quick huddle to review it at each store visit. Over the next few months, the citations for raw storage dropped by more than 75%. (While my employer likely lost revenue on revisiting failing stores, I enjoyed a sense of accomplishment and partnership with each one of my stores.) Fast forward a few years: I’ve moved on in my career and the retailer has explored different vendors to provide their food safety audits. While shopping in one of my former client’s stores, I met the grocery manager who led me into the food preparation room and showed me the poster I’d created, saying that his district had integrated it into their training materials for all new grocery team members. Neither I nor my former employer received any compensation for this poster which took me less than an hour to design in MS Word. In fact, I was chided by my employer when I inquired about creating the poster to fill a knowledge gap and increase partnership with this (very large) client. However the emotional compensation I received that day as I saw my poster, laminated and prominently displayed, was the best performance bonus I’ve ever received. Never underestimate the impact you make in your job and your life. You may not instantly see the results; in fact, you may never see the results at all. But each interaction with a coworker, a client, a friend or an acquaintance is a moment. You decide how that moment will be remembered.

Food Safety & Quality Professional ✍️ Writer 🎤 Speaker 🎓 Teacher 🍎 Food Safety Advocate 👷♂️Consultant 🔎Auditor 🏅Coach ⚽️ Owner of Caledonian Braves
FOOD SAFETY CULTURE NUDGE OF THE WEEK- 3rd Party Audits As I write today’s nudge, I am sitting in a room with two very proficient food safety auditors. They are auditing my team, the programs and the people. They are digging deep and finding treasure. Some food professionals dread audits but I feel auditing stands as the cornerstone in the construction of a robust food safety culture. In the intricate dance of production efficiency and food safety, auditors play a pivotal role in ensuring that each step aligns to build a good culture. I have written about internal auditing in the past, and I have even talked about regulatory audits, but beyond these and beyond the codes and meticulous checks and balances, external auditing helps mold a mindset where good practices become ingrained, elevating the production floor into a sanctuary of protection. It is the beacon that guides food professionals towards a higher standard, reinforcing the importance of cleanliness, hygiene, and adherence to protocols. With each audit, a thread is woven into the fabric of a culture that not only shields against potential hazards but also elevates the facility practices, affirming that a commitment to food safety is indeed to be treasured and IS the secret ingredient in the recipe for excellence. PS – Special shoutout to the entire Atlanta team. They are showing how a good food safety culture and a little hard work translates into a great audit experience when viewed from a 3rd party. #foodsafetyculture #auditor #audits

“I never imagined that I would relocate to Israel, until I got a job offer from Strauss Group. Over the years, I managed food safety for large international companies and also visited and worked at factories around the world - in the US, France, Ireland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Italy, Poland and more. When I received the offer from Strauss, I came for a tour of Israel and discovered that Strauss was an interesting global company engaged in numerous areas of operation and with many production lines - coffee, water, sweets, salads, savory snacks, dairy products... I visited factories, met lots of people and just fell in love. A year has passed since I arrived, and I’m very proud of what we've achieved. I’ve learned from the experience and knowledge gained throughout my career that success is based mainly on: 🍴 Understanding that food safety is an eternal mindset – you can't complete a series of tasks or KPIs and say, ‘We did it! We reached the finish line!’ It's an ongoing, consistent, and never-ending process. 🍴Focus and discipline – because we're talking about a lengthy process, it’s important to stick with it and do what is required. It’s like brushing your teeth - we do it every day, and nothing happens if we skip it once. But if we continue to skip brushing, at the end of the day, we’ll have a problem. 🍴 Promotion of an organizational food safety culture – every single person in the company needs to feel a sense of responsibility. It’s important to provide tools and encourage the people on the production floor to take action, to report hazards and have an impact. This happens when there's a good food safety culture. 🍴 Constant monitoring – it’s important to constantly check the goals and to fine tune them when required. Sometimes, we’re great and creating solutions for crises, and after working towards them with lots of energy and excitement and resolve them, we ignore the root cause. You need to understand, that even after the crisis, there's still a lot to do every day to prevent the next crisis.” *Robert Boisvert is Senior Director for Food Safety and Sanitation at Strauss Group #FoodSafety

🔍 Reflecting on my journey as a Food Safety Hygiene Coordinator 🔍 When I first started my career as a Food Safety Hygiene Supervisor, my mission was crystal clear: inspect, monitor, and implement corrective actions to ensure the highest standards of food safety. My days were filled with giving instructions to production supervisors, emphasizing the importance of implementing prerequisite programs. As I dove into my role, I realized that being tough on everyone was necessary to uphold these standards. Some misunderstood my intentions, thinking I was solely after them. Faces would change when I appeared in their sections, whispers about my approach would circulate. Some even labeled me as a "bad person." But in the grand scheme of things, my focus was on the greater good – the benefit of the company, myself, and ultimately, them. Fast forward to today, and the narrative has shifted. The team now comprehends the significance of my work, and cooperation is at an all-time high. It's true that sometimes you need to be firm to instigate change. While resistance may be present, consistency remains the linchpin. Through perseverance and a blend of kindness and toughness, the tide turned, and compliance became the norm. In the end, my journey exemplifies the power of determination and resilience. Embracing challenges, fostering understanding, and standing firm in my convictions have led to a workplace where food safety is paramount and collaboration thrives. Remember, change may not come easy, but with unwavering commitment, it is always within reach. 💪🌟 #FoodSafety #HygieneSupervisor #Resilience #Commitment #Teamwork

📢 Rethinking Food Safety Audits: A Path to Continuous Improvement As food safety professionals, it's crucial to shift our perspective on audits. The purpose of a food safety audit is not just to assess the status of our programs and point out what’s wrong. Instead, audits are valuable opportunities to enhance our food safety systems by gaining insights from experts. 🔍 Beyond Assessment: Embracing Improvement: A food safety audit should be seen as a chance to: Identify Strengths and Areas for Improvement: Audits provide a detailed look at our processes, highlighting both what we’re doing well and where we can improve. Learn from Specialists: Auditors bring a wealth of experience and knowledge. Their feedback can guide us to better practices and innovative solutions. Foster a Culture of Continuous Learning: Instead of viewing audits as stressful exams, we should embrace them as opportunities for growth and development. 🌟 Changing the Narrative: Let's redefine how we view food safety audits: Not Just Pass-Fail: Audits are not about passing or failing but about understanding and improving. Collaborative Process: Engage with auditors as partners who can provide valuable insights and help elevate our food safety standards. Continuous Improvement: Use the audit findings to drive ongoing enhancements in our food safety programs. 🤝 Your Role in the Process: Engage with your auditor, ask questions, and seek clarification.

Jimmy Donaldson AKA MrBeast There are always better ways to fix the quality control issue you had with MrBeast Burger, you just needed to hire quality assurance workers who are knowledgeable, experienced and skilled in this particular area in food science, you could have essentially created a job opening by opening opportunities for more workers to work on this aspect of the fast food chain business, these workers must have a knowledge, skill and experience on food safety besides the quality assurance.
