Standards for Retail Food Service Workers

A collaboration with the Conference for Food Protection; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and FDA of the Department of Health and Human Services; and the Food Safety and Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture -- the updated Food Code focuses on enhancing food safety practices based on new scientific and programmatic information.

Adopted by State and Local Government Health Departments Across the U.S.

The Association of Food and Drug Officials reported in June 2005, that 48 of 56 States and territories have adopted food codes patterned after the FDA Food Code. The 48 states and territories represent 79 percent of the U.S. population.

The Food Code is revised and updated to represent the most recent and best advice to ensure that food at retail is safe and properly protected and presented. Epidemiological outbreak data repeatedly identify five major risk factors related to employee behaviors and preparation practices in retail and food service establishments as contributing to foodborne illness:

  • Improper holding temperatures
  • Inadequate cooking, such as undercooking raw shell eggs
  • Contaminated equipment
  • Food from unsafe sources
  • Poor personal hygiene

Food Code 2005 provisions address essentially four areas:

  • Personnel
  • Food
  • Equipment/facilities/supplies
  • Compliance and enforcement
