Hospitality Industry Food Safety: New “HACCP Food Safety Employee Manual” From Food Safety Expert Tara Paster Focuses On Food Safety And Preparation

(From a PRWeb.com article)  Deadly outbreaks of foodborne illnesses over the past few years have focused increased attention on food safety and preparation. The Obama Administration has announced new steps to upgrade the US food safety system, with a public health-focused approach based on prevention, strengthened surveillance and enforcement, and improved response and recovery. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration recently released its updated Food Code, a model code and reference manual for the state and local agencies that regulate more than one million restaurants, retail food stores and vending and food service operations.

These recent changes are the focus of food safety expert and Pearson author Tara Paster’s new training guide for the food service industry, The HACCP Food Safety Employee Manual, 2nd Ed. The book debuted today at the 12th Annual Food Safety Summit in Washington, D.C., the largest and most established trade show focusing on food safety, quality assurance and food security.

Designed for workers in casinos, restaurants, schools, the military and retail outlets, The HACCP Food Safety Employee Manual is a user-friendly guide to the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) training processes to prevent foodborne illness in retail food service. The second edition incorporates the new FDA Food Code guidelines to assist the industry in prioritizing their food safety interventions and inspections. Participants receive a Basic HACCP Certification upon completing the course.

  1. Dear Sir or Madame: I am a personal injury attorney representing a client who was badly injured while trying to walk over an ice and snow covered guest entrance at a lodge in Mammoth Lakes, California. I am trying to obtain information on any policies and procedures governing the proper maintenance of guest entrance ways in hotel in moutainous areas where there is ice and snow. I am also looking for an expert in that field. If you could let me know if you know of any articles, books or other documents I can find and review, concerning that matter, I would be most appreciative. If you know of such and expert I would also be appreciative of your advising me.
    Thank you, John P. Burns (949)-495-3350

  3. You don’t say much more than the client slipped on snow and ice. Now, snow and ice are the reason most people go to Mammoth in the first place. Your question illustrates how important the exact context is in looking at whether an action is reasonable. Was the ice in the covered area of the entrance or some distance away? What was the weather? Was it snowing? How well lighted was it? Was the slippery nature obvious or hidden? Was it the front entrance or a side entrance? Also, a special issue with ski resorts is that if the person is “engaging” in a sport, the person cannot collect for injuries due to hazards inherent in the sport (what lawyers call “primary assumption of the risk”). Was the person wearing ski boots?

    As you can see, too many variables make it impossible to give much of an answer. Your idea of finding an expert is probably the way to go with addressing your specific issue. We don’t have lists of experts and don’t give endorsements in any case. You can find lots of names of experts for trip and fall from local plaintiff attorney groups and by looking at jury sheets.

    Hello John, as an attorney maybe you should look for similar legal cases or jurisprudentia in the US federal law or California state law. II am not familiar with legal accountablility and as written above there are many variables possible. But I can imagine that a hotel has a legal duty to provide safety and health conditions for the guests that are staying in or visiting the hotel.
