Public Health - Madison and Dane County is excited to announce that food establishments in Madison and Dane County can become eligible for community-wide recognition by participating in the training program.

Promotional information about the program will be targeted to the dining public and to those using retail food stores in Madison and Dane County. Regular press releases will be issued and media events will be organized until our community becomes familiar with the program. Additionally, food establishments that have successfully met the program criteria will be listed on our website.

And finally, successful participants will receive a 6” by 6” decal (sample below) with the identifiable logo, indicating your establishment has provided this training to your staff. This decal can then be posted in a visible spot in your establishment so your customers will become aware of your food safety training efforts.
