Retail Food
El Paso County has more than 2,700 licensed establishments or vendors that provide food to the public — including restaurants, caterers, grocery stores, convenience stores, school kitchens, and mobile vehicle vendors.
EPCPH’s Environmental Health Specialists routinely inspect facilities to assure compliance with food safety regulations and educate food handlers, investigate consumer complaints, and assist with foodborne outbreak investigations. Public Health issues licenses to retail food establishments and conducts thorough reviews of plans for new and remodeled facilities.
