Steritech’s Excellence in Food Safety Awards are prestigious recognitions given to organizations within the food industry that demonstrate outstanding commitment to food safety practices. These awards honor companies that go above and beyond in implementing food safety protocols, creating a culture of safety within their operations, and ensuring that their products meet the highest safety standards.
The awards may be presented to industry organizations, food safety associations, or publications focused on the food industry, and the recipients are recognized for their achievements. These awards encourage the adoption of effective food safety measures and reinforce the importance of maintaining a strong safety culture within organizations.
At the 2024 EFSA, First Watch won the top honor for their proactive food safety program, which integrates leadership engagement, comprehensive training, and advanced tracking systems. Aramark and Zaxby’s received honorable mentions for their strong food safety cultures, while Cici's Pizza, Hungry Howie's Pizza, Inc., and Wingstop were also recognized as finalists. The awards previously focused solely on the fast-casual sector but have now been expanded to include all food industry verticals.
To win the Excellence in Food Safety award, nominated brands are evaluated against the 7 Pillars of Food Safety Excellence. Organizations that demonstrate a clear understanding of each pillar and provide practical examples are selected as finalists for further evaluation. The 7 Pillars of Food Safety Excellence provide a comprehensive framework for organizations to build a strong food safety culture and are part of the judging criteria for the awards.
These pillars collectively help organizations implement successful and sustainable food safety programs.
