FOOD BLOG
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.
Our Services
We work across the country with restaurants, hotels, stadiums, arenas, grocery stores, caterers, commissaries, colleges, churches, schools and any other organizations serving food to the public.
We provide private on-site ServSafe, Choke Save, and Allergy certification classes. We can provide food handler training for your non-managerial employees as well. Finally, we authored a textbook and online course for manager certification.

Inspections/Audits
