Health Inspections

The City of The Colony is committed to maintaining an environment where residents and visitors can be sure they are consuming safe and wholesome food through conducting regular health inspections at all food service establishments. Eliminating the risk factors that contribute to food borne illnesses is the goal of performing regular health inspections.

 Inspections audit compliance with food service codes and review food handling practices by establishment employees. The City of The Colony provides guidance, training and educational services to the general public and food service industry personnel.  The Health Inspector coordinates and provides technical assistance to local, state, and federal health jurisdictions and agencies such as Denton County, Texas Department of Health, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  Coordination with other jurisdictions aids in preventing and investigating food borne illnesses.
