A manager is choosing where to buy meat and produce for a restaurant. What is the most important requirement for suppliers under the Food Code?

Food must be obtained from approved, reputable suppliers that comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws and are inspected as required, because food safety begins with a safe source. Organic certification, warehouse distance, and the lowest bid are business or marketing considerations, not food safety controls — a certified-organic or nearby supplier can still be an unapproved source. Buying from unapproved sources, such as an unlicensed roadside seller, is prohibited.
