An outbreak caused by a foodborne illness can cost your operation about $75,000, with legal fees being the biggest expense.  By serving foods safely, you can avoid loss of business, loss of food, bad publicity, lost wages, etc. Having your Food Protection Manager Certification can help to establish a better “food safety culture” that can prevent these situations.
