You should never start by assuming that the guest may have been sickened at home or at another restaurant. Taking the strategy that they may be at fault will instantly put them on the defensive. It&#8217;s also important not to be apathetic towards the situation, but rather act in a professional manner. When a guest complains of foodborne illness, the certified food protection manager should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Be sympathetic<\/li><li>Gather as many details on their dining experience as possible<\/li><li>Assess the time frame between their patronage and symptoms<\/li><li>Offer to look into the situation<\/li><li>Promise to follow up with them if requested<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>CFPMs being concerned for your guests will show that you care about the safety of your food. We&#8217;re not talking about admitting fault without investigating, we&#8217;re simply talking about being sympathetic to the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Details will be important, and they&#8217;ll also show that you&#8217;re taking the situation seriously. Make sure you find out when they dined in your establishment, what they ordered and how long afterward they experienced symptoms. It might also be a good idea to ask if anyone else in their party ordered the same menu items and if they experienced any symptoms. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/consumers\/what-you-need-know-about-foodborne-illnesses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">timing and symptoms<\/a> will be an important detail to note as it could pinpoint the type of pathogen that may have affected them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After taking down this information, take the time to assess the possibility that this illness could have come from your restaurant. As a certified food protection manager, you should review food handling procedures for the product in question. If you find questionable practices or a gap in food safety training, you should address them as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, certified food protection managers should follow up with your guest if they request it. If they&#8217;ve seen a doctor for symptoms and the diagnosis is a foodborne illness, address whether it is plausible the source was your facility. If you receive multiple complaints, you need to work with your local health department to resolve the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a CFPM how do you deal with foodborne illness reports?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Certified food protection managers (CFPMs) go to great lengths to keep the food they serve safe, but from time to time a customer may experience symptoms of a foodborne illness after eating in your establishment.
