VOL 27 ISSUE 36, September 14, 2026
Food Safety Month is an ideal time to strengthen the critical role each of us plays in protecting our guests, team members and business. Food safety is a core operational priority and a shared responsibility across every Delaware North location.
Please review and share these internal and partner resources with frontline team members that provide universal food safety best practices, information and tips.
Spotlight on allergen management
Proper allergen management is critical. Keep your guests safe by following allergen guidelines, preventing cross-contact, communicating food allergies effectively and adhering to established procedures.
Practice proper allergen management by reviewing the Food Allergen Toolkit, and making sure your location has:
- A Menu Allergen Guide that identifies what allergens are in the menu items.
- The Big 9 Allergens Poster posted in the back of house or kitchen.
Build a strong food safety culture
To maximize food safety, check out the resources from our ServSafe partners throughout September as part of their ”Recipe for Food Safety Success” campaign, which can be found in Delaware North’s Food Safety Toolkit or on ServSafe’s website.
This Food Safety Month, let’s recommit ourselves to following our Food Safety Standards and the behaviors that make a difference every day. Let’s lead by example, protect our guests, strengthen our operations and uphold the reputation of Delaware North.
