Retail Food Establishment (RFE) inspection reports have always been public record and open for viewing by any individual through section 24-72-203 of the 2002 Colorado Revised Statutes. Through this website, you may access the inspection histories for Retail Food Establishments in Weld County. A RFE is any facility/location where food is stored, prepared, served or sold for human consumption including restaurants, grocery stores, delis, convenience stores, schools, concession stands and mobile food units.
You can view inspections that have been conducted within the last 3 years. If you are interested in reviewing prior inspection history, you may do so at Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment offices located at 1555 N. 17th Avenue, Greeley, Colorado.
There are two types of violations noted during an inspection: "critical" and "non-critical". Critical violations (found in red on the inspection form) are violations that, if left uncorrected, are more likely than other violations to contribute to food contamination or illness. Non-critical violations (found in blue on the inspection form) are violations that, if left uncorrected, could lead to more serious problems but do not pose an immediate threat to food safety.
It is important to note that foodborne illness can occur at any time. One inspection may not be representative of the overall, long-term sanitation of an establishment. On any given day, a restaurant may have greater or fewer violations than observed during an inspection. In addition, some violations noted on an inspection report may have been corrected at the time of the inspection, which are indicated on the report. Follow-up inspections may be conducted for specific critical violations that cannot be corrected at the time of the inspection. Additionally, follow-up inspections may be conducted for any other violation at the discretion of the inspector. Although Retail Food Establishments are inspected by the health department, it is the establishment's responsibility to ensure that food safety procedures are followed.
