Dining with the Golden Stars 

The Jackson County Health Department would like to take this opportunity to announce the food establishments that has received the Golden Star of Excellence Award for 2011. The criterion is for a food service to have two consecutive perfect inspections (no violations).  

Each recipient of this award will be issued a certificate that can be placed in their facility to be viewed by the public. We would like to take the time to recognize these facilities for all of their hard work and efforts. Congratulations to the following: 

Ripley Elementary School

Crossroads of Evans

Ravenswood Grade School 

The intent of the Gold Star Program is to recognize those food establishments with outstanding food service inspections. Video lottery, retail, concessions, vending machines, non-profits or bars which do not prepare food are not eligible for the Gold Star.  The Jackson County Health Department views qualifying food establishments for the Gold Star as those restaurants which:                  

• Possess a current Food Establishment Permit

• Comply with Clean Indoor Air Regulations

• Have no outstanding fees due to the Jackson County Health Department

• Have two consecutive inspections with zero violations (opening and reinspections are excluded)
