One of the most prevalent issues in the Philippines is faulty food safety, to which food establishments, particularly food establishments, are the main contributors and which may have an impact on inhabitants’ daily lives. The researcher conducted a study at one of the universities in Bulacan, Philippines to learn about vendors’ main issues and the procedures they follow to control food safety. With the help of a questionnaire, the researchers were able to identify the issue they were trying to solve in this study. Survey questionnaires were distributed using 25 willing suppliers to meet the researchers’ needs. The profiles of the respondents make up the survey’s composition. Suppliers, including how long they have been in business, how they manage their food safety measures following the legislation and the typical issues they have encountered while putting their policies into practice. The establishment has its management and practice methods, and according to the results, however, their activities did not diminish the establishment’s practices for food safety. These issues were identified as people tossing and sorting their waste improperly. The methods they will employ to ensure food safety, environmental sanitation, and the equipment utilized for cooking are merely general instructions. Even though they can keep the establishment clean, they still need to improve the food they provide.
