What is Active Managerial
Control?
If you are a foodservice manager or owner and
haven't yet heard the term, "active managerial
control," you probably will in the near future.
This phrase is used in the food safety regulatory
realm to express the obligation of food
establishment operators to ensure the food they
are offering consumers is safe. According to the
FDA, the term means "the purposeful incorporation
of specific actions or procedures by industry
management into the operation of their business to
attain control over foodborne illness risk
factors." In simple terms, management must have a
food safety system that ensures that the risks
presented by the food products and processes used
are adequately controlled.

Association A
salad bar can be a valuable addition to a
restaurant. It adds versatility to the menu and
can even serve as a restaurant's visual focal
point. But operating a safe and effective salad
bar or buffet requires a lot of work. Food safety
needs to be a main ingredient of any salad bar to
prevent foodborne illnesses. A sparkling-clean
salad bar featuring fresh products will also win
over customers and create good word of mouth. Here
are some techniques for keeping your salad bar up
to standards.

Your
Employees' Certification May Not be
Valid The Rhode Island
Department of Health (DOH) is no longer
recognizing food safety certificates that were
issued by Dereck
Rodrigues. The National Restaurant
Association Solutions (NRA Solutions)
has been working very closely with the DOH on this
investigation. If any of your employees took a
course with Mr. Rodrigues their
certifications may not be accepted as
proof of required training.
NRA Solutions has
mailed letters to those individuals that are
affected by this finding. We recommend that you
double check your employees' certification to
ensure that they are in compliance.
The RI Hospitality Association has been
working closely with NRA Solutions and the RI
Department of Health. We will be providing classes
and examinations for anyone that is in need of
becoming certified.
For
more information please call us at
401-223-1120.
