Why Food Safety Culture Matters—and Why Your Voice Is Essential

A strong food safety culture is more than policies and procedures—it’s the shared values, behaviors, and mindset that drive every decision, from the production floor to the boardroom. It shapes how teams respond to risk, how leaders prioritize safety, and how consistently safe practices are upheld, even under pressure.

At the Alliance for Advanced Sanitation, we believe that understanding and strengthening food safety culture requires all of us and all employees in a company play a vital role in shaping culture. It is essential to building resilient, high-performing organizations. That’s why we’re conducting this survey: to gather insights from professionals like you across the food industry. Your experiences, challenges, and perspectives will help us identify trends, highlight best practices, and develop tools that support continuous improvement.

We invite you to take a few minutes to complete the survey below. Your input is invaluable—and together, we can elevate, improve, and expand the elements of culture that contribute to safer food across the global supply chain.
