The past year has been challenging for food service establishments. Due to COVID-19-related constraints many faced, Galveston County Health District will not be awarding 2021 Gold Ribbon Awards. However, we do want to recognize and thank all food service establishments and their employees for their resilience over the course of the past year as they navigated the many challenges presented with COVID-19.

Each year, Galveston County Health District recognizes food service establishments that show exemplary compliance with the Texas Food Establishment Rules with the Gold Ribbon Award. Establishments with scores in the top 5 percent in categories including restaurants, bars, convenience stores, schools and mobile units were eligible for awards. Gold Ribbon Award winners also met the following criteria during the previous calendar year:

• Must have no item 1-6 priority violations
• Must not have any confirmed consumer complaints
• Must have no voluntary or forced establishment closures due to inspection findings
• Must have no court complaints filed
• Must have no pre-enforcement meetings held
• Must pay applicable permit fees on time
• Must have operated the entire year in review
