Twenty-one county restaurants, full-service food establishments and their proprietors were honored April 21 for demonstrating the highest standards of safe food handling during the past year.
Most of those establishments that received the 2015 Outstanding Achievement Awards, presented by Jefferson County Board of Health, work with complex menus, a dimension that adds to the food safety challenges, a press release stated.
Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) and the board recognized these businesses for their dedication to preventing illness, and encouraged the entire food industry to strive for the same honor.
Criteria for the awards were developed by the JCPH food safety roundtable and JCPH food safety staff, and are based on food safety inspections conducted in the areas of personal hygiene, food temperature safety and prevention of contamination.
All food workers must hold a current Washington State Food Worker Card.
Those awarded were Blue Moose Uptown Pub & Grill, Brinnon School District, Brinnon Senior Supper Club, Chimacum Primary School, Chimacum High School, Chimacum Middle School, Discovery View Retirement Association, Ferino’s Pizzeria, Food Co-op deli, Grant Street School, Jefferson County Jail, Jefferson Mental Health Services, Lanza’s Ristorante, Port Townsend Senior Nutrition, Quilcene School Cafeteria, QFC No. 106 deli (Port Townsend), QFC No. 870 deli (Port Hadlock), Tri-Area Community Center Senior Nutrition/Meals, the Tin Brick, Timberhouse Restaurant, and Velocity Coffee.
