The verdict

Central Kitchen runs at 216% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Grocery stores workplace, earning a grade F.

Central Kitchen: 7.3 TCR = 216% of Grocery stores BLS 3.4 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Central Kitchen safety composite

Central Kitchen scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 23%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
