Retail & Food Service

In the competitive retail and food service environments, food safety and quality directly impact reputation and brand. NSF is a different kind of audit company, best positioned to assist with you to protect your customers, reputation and brand; and to far exceed traditional audit expectations by helping you achieve your operational and growth objectives. We go well beyond food safety with services including occupational health and safety (OSHA) compliance, risk management and brand standards/quality audits.

With over 70 years of expertise in food safety and brand protection, and 30 plus years with retail accounts, we have provided thousands of store and supply chain audits, delivering objective and actionable audit findings and robust technical guidance. Our strong public health roots mean we never compromise the objectivity of our food safety services because our primary service is food safety, not selling maintenance, chemical or ancillary products.
