Inadequate sanitation is a major(ip) cause of disease world-wide and improving sanitation is k todayn to have a signifi force outt beneficial impact on health both in households and crossways communities. http//www.who.int/topics/sanitation/en/ preventative is the condition of being protected against physical, social, spiritual, financial, political, emotional, occupational, psychological, educational or other types or consequences of failure, damage, error, accidents, harm or any other egress which could be considered non-desirable. http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety Foodservice establishments feed hundreds of millions of people annually.The customers in many of these establishments ar young, at high risk , elderly, and ill. Cargon must be taken at all times to protect this vulnerable group of people. In every fast food restaurants, sanitation and safety are an essential sectionof operation that the customers looked for. By implementing sanitation and safety operation it prevents the health risks of the customers, external and internal health. It can also improve the relationships to the customers and increases trust of compliance agencies and inspectors. A work environment redundant of hazards that cause accidents and a dining facility in which customers are safe and secure should be aims of all foodservice owners.Even if customers dont get sick, storing, preparing or divine service food in unsanitary and unsafe conditions will adversely affect the food quality and health of consumers. Once quality starts to slip, food poisoning or accidents arent far behind. http//yourhospitalitysolutions.com/2012/the-importance-of-sanitation-in-the-restaurant- manu occurrenceuring/ Customers of ten judge your food based on the cleanliness of your establishment. If they see an eating area or an open kitchen that is visibly dirty, they are probably to be wary of the food they are being served.They are not going to enjoy their eating to any fast food restaurants if they are served no-good food that makes them sick and encountered accidents. They wont be coming back, nor will they recommend that spot to their friends. Thats why sanitation and safety operation are important to the foodservice industry to avoid customer lost and having a bad reputation from the consumers. http//www.ecolab.com/solutions/food-safety-specialties/sanitation-and-cleaning Background of the chew overEach type of foodservice establishment will be governed by management philosophy, policies, and procedures individualized to the organization, visions, values, goals, objectives, and systems of operation. sanitisation within the food industry means the adequate treatment of food-contact surfaces by a pr ocess that is effective in destroying vegetative cells of microorganisms of public health significance, and in substantially reducing numbers of other undesirable microorganisms, but without adversely affecting the food or its safety for the consumer (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Code of national Regulations, 21 CFR110, USA).Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures are mandatory for food industries in United States, which are regulated by 9 CFR parts 416 in articulation with 21 CFR parts 178.1010. Similarly, in Japan, food hygiene has to be achieved throughcompliance with food sanitation law. http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SanitationImproving_access Safety is generally interpreted as implying a real and significant impact on risk of death, injury or damage to property. In response to perceived risks many interventions may be proposed with engineering responses and regulation being two of the most common. Safety can also be defined to be the control of recognized hazards to achi eve an pleasing level of risk. This can take the form of being protected from the event or from exposure to something that causes health or economical losses.It can include apology of people or of possessions. http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SafetySafety_measures The one thing that all of the types of food establishments have in common is providing safe and sanitary food to the people who are far away from home for one or more meals per day. Today, Santa Cruz serves as the capital of Laguna and is considered as the business and commercial center on the eastern part of the province. The said city has also different fast food Restaurants Corporation naming, Jollibee, McDonald and Chowking. The researchers saw that as an opportunity to conduct research study about Assessment on the train of Sanitation and Safety of Fast Food Restaurants in Sta. Cruz, Laguna as perceived by the Customers.Theoretical FrameworkThis paper recognized the fact that hygiene and sanitation lapses can happen e ven when an institution and the whole country have sufficient water supply. Keith Proudlove (1987 59) posits that, if the public is aware of food poisoning, it should musical theme such cases more readily rather than accept their illness as another bilious attack but her argument is more of a alterative than a preventive intervention. Many reasons account for food poisoning in the hospitality industry this range from lack of hygiene education, proper sanitation, to poor.According to the Susan F.Robinson ed (19922), the compulsive safety of a food or an ingredient can never be guaranteed. This theory is applicable in hospitality institutions especially where no assign precautions are taken during purchasing of raw materials, organic evolution, through manufacturer into products, processing, and final preparation and in distribution. This argument indicates that, the risks from any food can be unploughed to an absolute minimum i.e. any level ofcontamination from the source of ra w materials used in the preparation of food items in the hospitality and tourism facilities can be prevented to avoid disasters. http//papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1675623 Jack in the Box hired food scientist David M. Theno to help the chain prevent future outbreaks. Theno advocated an established system known as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP).HACCP identifies the steps in the food-production process at which a product can become unsafe to eat. Many restaurants and suppliers now use this and similar programs to help ensure the safety of food. http//science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/edible-innovations/fast-food2.htm Enticed by the success of the McDonalds concept, Kroc signed a franchise agreement with the brothers and began opening McDonalds restaurants in Illinois. By 1961, Kroc had bought out the brothers and created what is now the modern McDonalds Corporation. One of the major parts of his business plan was to promote cleanliness of his restaur ants to growing groups of Americans that had become aware of food safety issues.As part of his commitment to cleanliness, Kroc often took part in cleaning his own Des Plaines, Illinois outlet by hosing down the garbage cans and scraping gum off the cement. other concept Kroc added was great swaths of glass which enabled the customer to view the food preparation, a practice still found in chains such as Krispy Kreme. A clean atmosphere was only part of Krocs grander plan which separated McDonalds from the rest of the competition and attributes to their great success. http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_food_restaurantConceptual FrameworkThis study was guided by a research look-alike to be able to picture out clearly the Level of Sanitation and Safety Operation of Fast Food Restaurants in Sta.
