The Food Safety Magazine Distinguished Service Award honors individuals who best exemplify the characteristics of the dedicated food safety professional. Those honored are recognized by members of the profession for their collective
works in promoting or advancing science-based solutions for food safety issues.

The award statuette presented to honorees is a modern art rendering of a human figure reaching skyward in triumph. Achievement in any endeavor begins with the individual. The Distinguished Service Award recipients show the significant impact that one person can have on the success of many.
