Objectives of a Foodservice Inspection Program
To evaluate the minimum sanitation and food-safety practices within the establishment.
To protect the public’s health by requiring establishment to provide food that is safe, uncontaminated, and properly presented.
To convey new food-safety information to an establishment.

To provide an establishment with a written report, noting deficiencies, so that the establishment can be brought into compliance with safe food practices.

Government Regulatory SystemAt the federal level:U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is responsible for inspection and quality grading of meats, meat products, poultry, dairy products, eggs and egg products, and fruits and vegetables shipped across state boundaries. Provided through the Foods Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) agency.
![Page 9: ServSafe Chapter 13 Food-Safety Regulations and Standards](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649eca5503460f94bd8646/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the agency that writes recommendations for foodservice regulations (based on input from the Conference for Food Protection (CEP). These recommendations are commonly known as the Model Food Code.
FDA inspects foodservice operations that cross state borders (planes, trains, food manufacturers, and processors.)
![Page 10: ServSafe Chapter 13 Food-Safety Regulations and Standards](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649eca5503460f94bd8646/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
FDA shares responsibility with the USDA for inspecting food processing plants to ensure standards of purity, wholesomeness, and compliance with labeling requirements.
U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) inspect cruise ships that cross international borders.
Regulation details how a law will be put into effect by the government agency responsible for that regulation. see Key Point

Health Inspector (also called sanitarians,
health officials, or environmental health specialist) conduct foodservice
inspections in most states.
![Page 12: ServSafe Chapter 13 Food-Safety Regulations and Standards](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649eca5503460f94bd8646/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Food CodeIs written by the FDA and lists the government’s recommendations for foodservice regulations. Updated every two years. Intended to assist state health departments in developing regulations for a foodservice
inspection program. It is not an actual law.
![Page 13: ServSafe Chapter 13 Food-Safety Regulations and Standards](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649eca5503460f94bd8646/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

sources, receiving, storage, display, service, transportation.
Personnel: health, personal cleanliness, clothing, practices.

Managers must contact local health
departments to find out which specific
regulations apply to their operations.
Establishments can provide input on
the code requirements in their area.
![Page 16: ServSafe Chapter 13 Food-Safety Regulations and Standards](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649eca5503460f94bd8646/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Foodservice Inspection ProcessHealth department inspections should be a supplement to a self-inspection program.Traditional Inspection SystemThe frequency is determined by:Size and complexity of the operation.
The inspection history of the establishment.
The clientele’s susceptibility to foodborne illness.
![Page 17: ServSafe Chapter 13 Food-Safety Regulations and Standards](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649eca5503460f94bd8646/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The thoroughness of the operations HACCP program.
The workload of the local health department and the number of inspectors available.
![Page 18: ServSafe Chapter 13 Food-Safety Regulations and Standards](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649eca5503460f94bd8646/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Accompany the sanitarian during the inspection so you can answer any
questions and identify the Actual location of any deficiency.Ask for identification.Cooperate.Take notes.Keep the relationship professional.Prepare to provide records requested by
the inspector.

An establishment can be closed when the health department feels it poses an
immediate and substantial health hazard to the public.A significant lack of refrigeration.A backup of sewage into the establishment
itself or its water supply.An emergency, such as a building fire or
flood.A serious infestation of insects or rodents.A long interruption of electrical or water
service.

HACCP-Based InspectionsSome health departments use HACCP-
based inspections, which focus on the flow of food rather than on the sanitary appearance of the facility. A HACCP-based inspection can
do the following:Trace the source of contamination
following a report of foodborne illness.Evaluate an establishment with
significant hazards.Assist an establishment in converting to a
HACCP system.
