Staff routinely inspect food service operations, such as restaurants, delicatessens, school cafeterias and retail markets to insure compliance with Colorado state regulations. According to Centers for Disease Control 2000 estimates, food-borne illnesses cause 5,000 deaths in the U.S. each year and more than 76 million illnesses per year.
