We understand the Food Safety Culture and use our knowledge to help all types of Food Businesses, from large multi-unit corporations to the small mom and pop restaurant, we are committed to help them be in compliance while protecting their customers from Foodborne Illness

How We Got Started

As a woman who rose through the ranks in the Food Industry, after approximately 45 years, I realized the tremendous gap between what Managers had to teach their staff and how much time they had to teach or train them, at the beginning, and continuously. So, I resigned my position at which I had worked for 20 years, and that's the origin of Food Safety Direct. I am passionate about helping all Food Facilities overcome their obstacles, especially time for Employee Training/Certification.

I like to believe that eventually, restaurants will start operating under a new normal which may include still a lot of to go and curbside pick up. We all need to try to support the Food Industry, remembering that a lot of people we may know are fully committed to keep at it.
