Let’s face it, accidents happen. We don’t know where and or when, but it’s a good bet that your team will need to respond to a body fluid spill at some point. From a compliance standpoint, body fluid spills touch on regulatory frameworks for foodservice organizations:
- The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard, which require all employers to provide protections for their employees and
- The US Food Code, which has been adopted by most state and local health departments and requires written procedures for responding to vomit and diarrhea events.

We help your brand survive a potential crisis.
Let’s face it, WORD SPREADS. One episode of vomiting in your eatery and you have a real crisis with which to deal, one that, without solid advance planning and training can damage your brand and worse, sicken the patrons who trust you to run a right operation. When these vomit, feces, or other bodily fluid emergencies occurred in the past — the industry trained staff to simply clean it up in a hurry. The biggest worry? Clean quickly and don’t offend surrounding customers.

What types of organizations should be interested in spill kits for food safety reasons?
According to the FDA’s U.S. Food Code, “food establishments” must have procedures in place for vomiting or diarrheal events. This is not just restaurants. It also includes any store that sells food—even prepackaged items like chips, candy bars, and sodas. Stadium concession stands and nursery schools that dole out snacks or meals need to be compliant, too. If you think it might impact you, it probably does. Here is a partial list:
