Is Your Client's Company at Risk?
Any entity serving food, from restaurants to hospitality industries to cafeterias to food trucks, are at risk. They are held to a higher standard of care by the health departments and face unique exposures that other businesses do not due to their daily handling and serving of food to the public. Whether it’s actual or alleged, having one of these food borne illnesses within the settings can have a negative impact by decreased customers, revenues and reputation.
