Summary:Seeing the palpable impact of food poisoning associated with catering operations, we surveyed caterers with and without past hygiene violations to examine staffing, food safety practices and correlations with microbial counts in food and the processing environment.

In preference to added stringencies for errant operators, we discuss alternative efforts to augment food safety, as well as the policy implications thereof.
