The City of Somerville is a diverse ethnic community with 520 Food establishment licenses.
The team consists of team members with varying level of knowledge of the FDA Voluntary National Retail
Food Standards. During the self-assessment process all team members will enhance their understanding
and working knowledge of the Standards. The self-assessment approach includes:
• Complete a gap analysis of the current policies, procedures and resources and the requirements for each
FDA Standard.
• Identify Stakeholder's. Engage Stakeholders.
Additional outcomes of completing the Self- Assessment is to generate discussion regarding:
• Communication with stakeholders regarding the benefits of the Standards program, encouraging a long-term commitment to the
FDA Standards program
• Identify strategies, to encourage management/stakeholder continued commitment to
established policies and procedures and continuous improvement of the food program.
• Sustainability – development of policy and procedures related to the standards must be practical and efficient.
PROGRESS on SA9 will be measured by utilizing the Self-Assessment forms as a checklist for each
Standard to stay on task and on time.
MEASURABLE IMPROVEMENT - the outcome of the gap analysis identified during the self assessment of
all 9 standards will inform the next step, developing Comprehensive Strategic Improvement Plan which
provided a practical efficient road map to facilitate improvements with City of Somerville's ISD Health Division food
program for retail establishments.
