"We created the '24 Carrot Gold Food Safety Excellence Awards' to honor local food service establishments for their commitment to serving wholesome food to the people of St. Charles County," says Pieter Sheehan, the department's environmental public health manager. "While every food service facility under our jurisdiction meets food safety requirements, these eleven establishments exceed the standard. We hope the recipients prominently display their award, and we look forward to honoring more facilities in 2008."
To be eligible for consideration, recipients of the "24 Carrot Gold Award" cannot have any critical violations in the last twelve months, and no more than six non–critical violations in the same time period. In addition, at least ninety percent of the food facility managers at the establishment must have valid food safety certification. The facility must also have a valid St. Charles County Food Establishment Permit and be in good standing with the Department of Community Health and the Environment.
The public is invited to nominate facilities for next year's "24 Carrot Gold Food Safety Excellence Awards." Applications will be available soon at the health department, 1650 Boone's Lick Road in St. Charles. They will also be available for download from the Environmental Public Health section of www.scchealth.org.
