Grade A Food excellence awards

This award is designed to recognize those facilities that take the initiative to go above and beyond health code requirements to excel in sanitation and food safety.

The Health Department recognizes that excellence is most fully achieved when the food service management fully endorses employee education and training.

Therefore, the Grade A Food Excellence Award will be awarded in 2012 to those operations that have exhibited excellence in sanitation and food safety as well as evidence of successful employee education throughout 2011.

Criteria for food service establishments to earn a Grade A Food Excellence Award:

At least one person in the facility must have successfully completed the Kansas City Health Department Food Manager course or be ServSafe certified.
High risk facilities cannot have any more than 3 critical violations, medium risk facilities cannot have any more than 2 critical violations, and low risk facilities cannot have any critical violations in the current calendar year.
All critical violations must have been corrected on site.
High risk facilities cannot have any more than 9 non-critical violations, medium risk facilities cannot have any more than 6 non-critical violations, and low risk facilities cannot have any more than 3 non-critical violations in the current calendar year.
No violations may be repeat violations from current calendar year.
Establishment must have a valid Kansas City, Mo., Food Service Permit and be in good standing with the City of Kansas City, Mo., Health Department.
Establishment was not identified as a source of Food borne illness within the last year.

Any operation that meets the above criteria within the jurisdiction of the Kansas City, Missouri Health Department shall be considered for the Grade A Food Excellence Award granted by the Health Department.
