Founded by Dr. Harlan Stueven, the Dining Safety Alliance is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization.

Our Mission fosters community awareness, analyzes research, develops tools and food safety training. We strive to enhance the ability of hospitality leadership to implement improved processes.

Our Passion is to reduce the number and severity of food-related illnesses.

The Dining Safety Alliance works with Dining Grades, Inc., and has full access to its database. That database has become the industry’s premier collection of public health restaurant inspection results. The Dining Grades Inc. database has been analyzed, using proprietary, data-driven methodology.

As a result industry and the public now have access to a uniform rating for each dining outlet using a letter grade system.

And, for the first time, consumers and industry leaders have a resource to compare and evaluate public health scores across different jurisdictions. using a single scale.

Through strategic partnerships we are also working to provide public health authorities with data and analysis that can promote development of more consistent processes and inspection scores between agencies.

In summary, Dining Safety Alliance is committed to working with the hospitality industry, government, and the public health community.

Most importantly, together we will improve public health, reduce the incidence of food borne illness, and save lives.
