Date:         February 9, 2003
Contact:    Douglas Voegeli 294-5338

The Madison Department of Health is pleased to announce the establishments that have received the year 2003 achievement awards for excellence in food safety.  The Achievement award program was started in 1995 to highlight superior work in the area of food safety.  Sixty- six out of over 1000-licensed food establishments meet the criteria for the award this year. The food establishments listed have received this award due to their constant attention to food safety, proper training of their staff and ensuring that they meet the Wisconsin Food Code.  

Only an elite group of food establishments receive this award.  That is due to the strict criteria used to qualify for the honor.  One of the criteria includes not having any critical items on the current inspection.  This is difficult to achieve since there are over one hundred critical violations in the Wisconsin Food Code any one violation can disqualify a food establishment from receiving this recognition.  Some examples of critical item violations include: improper handwashing, touching ready to eat foods with bare hands, improper storage of raw foods, not maintaining proper food temperatures and improper sanitizing of equipment and utensils.  They also must have a Certified Food Manager on staff, receive a low inspection score, do not receive a reinspection, not have a confirmed or suspected food-borne illness and have not received enforcement actions with in the past two years.   

The award winners have been placed in the following categories: Restaurants, Grocery/deli, Fast food, Bar and Grill and Limited food handling.  The number in the Awards column identifies how many consecutive awards the food establishment has won. These establishments do an outstanding job of insuring food safety on a routine basis.  They should be congratulated on their superior performance.  

Please contact Douglas Voegeli at 294-5338 or Pam Tauscher at 294-2859 to set up a video or photograph opportunity to show an establishment receiving an award.
