Food Service Operators to be Recognized

press release 03/28/06

La Marque – Food service establishments deserving recognition for cleanliness will be presented “Gold Ribbon” awards by the Galveston County Health District’s Consumer Health Services Division during a ceremony to be held April 5th at the Wayne Johnson Community Center in La Marque beginning at 7 pm.  Galveston County Judge Jim Yarbrough will be on hand along with Health District officials to distribute the awards.

Sanitarians from the district regularly inspect more than 1,500 licensed food service operations in Galveston County.  In selecting the recipients of Gold Ribbon awards sanitarians nominate exemplary operators from the establishments they are responsible for inspecting.  After a review of records the final honorees are chosen.

“We enjoy taking this opportunity each year to recognize those operators doing a great job in the arena of food service,” says Martin Entringer the District’s manager of Consumer Health Services.  “All too often people only hear about problems with food service establishments and we feel that good news should be shared with the community. There are many food service establishments doing a good job.”
