Food Safety
Maintaining food safety is absolutely essential to a brand’s trustworthiness and long-term reputation. A single negative food safety incident can impact your entire brand. The EcoSure assessment and brand protection program is a best-in-class program that helps you understand and improve operations including food safety, public health and beyond.
EcoSure offers a comprehensive and versatile program that covers major areas integral to an organization's brand protection. Our program empowers your teams to proactively address food safety concerns and related operational issues, minimize risk and create spaces that will drive customer satisfaction and improve brand reputation.
The food safety assessments within EcoSure are built on Food Code, HACCP principles, and industry best practices to ensure that food safety standards are being upheld in your everyday operations.

What is an EcoSure Program?
EcoSure works closely with your organization to deeply understand your brand and brand needs. We design a comprehensive brand protection strategy that incorporates the brand concerns and business objectives most important to your organization. EcoSure has a core focus on food safety and public health, but also assists brands with guest experience, quality control, workplace safety and more.
After determining your priority areas, including but not limited to food safety, our team collaborates with you to design a unique program that includes on-site visits, reporting and analysis that is customized specifically to your brand.
Assessments at the unit level identify challenges and opportunities for improvement and work with teams to facilitate positive changes. We also package and deliver assessment data in custom reports with actionable insights.
These reports drive improvements in guest experience and satisfaction and mitigate risks–which is why, according to an internal study, after 4 years, EcoSure customers experienced a 16.2% decrease in normalized critical findings.
EcoSure partners with you to:
- Determine program priority areas
- Customize program design
- Conduct on-site assessments
- Discover actionable insights
- Recommend program enhancements
- Improve food safety best practices and risk mitigation
