The aims of this study were to translate into Portuguese, adapt, and test the reliability, internal consistency, conceptual equivalence, and validity of the food safety climate self‐assessment tool. Translation and back translation were performed to test the reliability, internal consistency, conceptual equivalence, and validity of the translated instrument. The process of translating and adapting the tool was completed successfully, and the Portuguese version developed in the present study was confirmed to be similar to the original tool. Practical applications The food safety climate self‐assessment tool translated and adapted to promote the evaluation of the food safety climate in the food industry from Portuguese language countries. This tool should be used by industry managers or owners to know the perception and the culture of food safety among the workers.
