The 2021 Clean Plate Award has been given to 48 licensed food facilities out of more than 800 in Wood County. These facilities have been dedicated to upholding excellent sanitation and food safety knowledge within their operation. Recipients receive a certificate of excellence and recognition of excellent performance in food safety from the Wood County Health Department. The winners of the Clean Plate Award will also receive a decal to display at their facility.
This is the 10th year that the Wood County Board of Health will present this award. Two facilities, Rita’s Dairy Bar in Grand Rapids and the Wood County Committee on Aging, have received the award for all 10 years.
Facilities that receive it meet requirements including:
- Up-to-date licensing
- Minimal violations during their inspections
- Staff who are well trained in food safety knowledge
- No confirmed complaints, foodborne illnesses or administrative hearings with the Health Department over the past 2 years.
“We are always thankful for the food facilities that work hard to earn this recognition. This past year was a terrible year for our food facilities with shut-downs and staffing shortages due to the pandemic. Despite the unprecedented hard times, these facilities made food safety their number one priority,” said Lana Glore, Director of Environmental Health.
