ICS

Who We Are

The Division of Inspection and Consumer Services (ICS) programs provide economic protection to agricultural producers and ensure that Colorado consumers receive products that are safe, properly labeled, and sold in an honest manner. ICS regulates animal feed, fertilizer, anhydrous ammonia, compost, farm products dealers, commodity handlers/grain warehouses, scales and other measuring devices, pricing and package weight accuracy, eggs, home food service plan operators, custom meat plants and wild game processors. 

Consumer protection, promotion of equity in the marketplace, and animal and human health safety are the primary goals of ICS.

It is an economically and ecologically beneficial approach to pest management that reduces reliance on short-term chemical applications and makes landscapes more resilient to invasion long-term.
Biological controls can be used to achieve the larger goal of ecological restoration and long-term ecological health for the benefit of agriculture as well as the environment. 
The goal of the Insectary is to promote the use of beneficial self-sustaining biological controls throughout Colorado as a basis for IPM across all landscapes.
