A Decade of Cultivating Food Safety. Our Hard-Learned, Hands-On, Global Lessons.

This book is about why food companies need to change how they think about their culture and how it affects food safety. You’ll find models for manufacturers, retailers, and regulators that can help you set your path to improvement and guide you along it. Through case studies and five key lessons from a decade of working on food safety, we will give you practical and inspiring ideas on how to keep measuring, shaping, and celebrating your food safety performance. The book is a collection of hard-learned lessons from the core team at Cultivate SA and the amazing clients and friends we have worked with around the world—organizations that work tirelessly every day, leading with empathy and pragmatism to keep all of us safe. Cultivate SA supports Stop Foodborne Illness. This organization is made up of people who have been hurt by unsafe food and want to work with all of us to eradicate foodborne illness, one culture at a time. All these lessons, and the principles that they teach, will help you on your journey to a great food safety culture. You can do this! One step at a time, one improvement at a time, and one culture at a time.
