Hot Chicken Chain Avoids Foodborne Illness Culpability
Verifiable food safety data avoids foodborne illness culpability
Why did a health inspector investigate this hot chicken chain?
Every fast-growing restaurant chain’s nightmare: the health inspector arrived after a customer named them as a possible source in a foodborne illness incident. Investigators identify points of contamination by reviewing records from the restaurants and stores where affected people ate or shopped, which meant this chain needed to produce an unimpeachable record of temperatures and food safety practices from the days in question.
