The Halton Region Health Department today recognized nine workplace cafeterias that have made a commitment to healthy living by successfully achieving their 2010 Eat Smart!® Workplace Cafeteria award. Eat Smart!® is a provincial award program designed to recognize workplace cafeterias that provide and promote healthy eating and food safety. The presentations were made at a breakfast networking event for Halton workplaces held at Halton Rattlesnake Point Golf Club in honour of Canada’s Healthy Workplace Month.

“Congratulations to these Halton workplaces,” said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr. “To receive the Eat Smart!® Award of Excellence, workplaces must comply with 14 nutrition standards and six food safety standards. This award acknowledges a commitment to good nutrition on the part of these nine organizations, which ultimately benefits employees and their families, cafeteria staff, and workplace visitors.”

The companies honoured are:

Burlington

Halton Hills

Milton

Oakville

As part of the Eat Smart!® program, Halton Region Health Department staff meet with the workplace wellness team and food service provider to review the standards relating to food safety and nutrition. The Region also offers help and supporting materials to educate customers about the healthier food choices available.
