Food Safety Culture refers to the attitudes, beliefs, practices, and values that are held by a restaurant’s staff around food safety. A strong food safety culture may help prevent outbreaks by ensuring that food safety policies are consistently followed. The resources in this section are based on research findings from focus groups and industry surveys. Use these resources to learn how to improve the food safety culture in your facility now, to help prevent outbreaks in the future.

In the event of an outbreak, the Southern Nevada Health District will work with your business to identify appropriate corrective actions and precautions to end the outbreak quickly.

If you suspect that you might be experiencing an outbreak at your property, please reach out to the Health District immediately. The sooner we know about it, the sooner we can work together to help end it. You can call the Office of Epidemiology at (702) 759-1300 at any time, Environmental Health Foodborne Illness at (702) 759-1504, or your assigned inspector during business hours.
