About Industry Engagement
The Industry Engagement Program informs and educates the public, industry, business operators, and their employees on environmental health policies, procedures, and regulations through presentations, web postings, fact sheets, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), and other educational materials and outreach activities.
The Industry Engagement Program also provides technical assistance by engaging in activities that are designed to foster a greater understanding of local health department compliance policies and related State and Federal codes. The program keeps abreast with current issues and trends within the food industry by maintaining an advisory presence on various professional and business associations and committees. The program reviews lab results for microbial challenge studies and responds to media requests from the Public Information Officer. Additionally, the program is responsible for issuing the "Certificate of Excellence" to retail food establishments that receive three consecutive "A" inspection ratings without high-risk violations or repeated moderate-risk violations.
