Lisa Berger MPH, CP-FS
our inspiration in chief
My name is Lisa Berger, founder of Berger Food Safety Consulting. I take food safety personally, and I am very passionate about the work here at BFSC. One of my friends and current advisor to BFSC lost his son to an e-coli outbreak, and this haunts me daily. The fact that today, a single conscientious restaurant manager or food handler can prevent such a tragedy inspires me to educate and help our clients rise to the occasion. Even so, there are approximately 128,000 hospitalizations and nearly 3,000 deaths every year. Yes, 3,000 people die each year of a foodborne illness in this country. Not on my watch.
We work across the country with restaurants, hotels, stadiums, arenas, grocery stores, caterers, commissaries, manufacturers, wholesalers, colleges, churches, schools, and other organizations that serve food to the public or B2B.
