CO food plan / meat processor bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
A food-plan organizer or meat processor takes customers’ money up front for food delivered later, so a bond historically backed those prepayments. Colorado repealed statewide home-food-plan licensure in 2018, so a bond today is generally a legacy or contractual requirement — whatever amount you’ve been asked for, pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What this bond actually covers — and what changed
A “food plan” is an arrangement where a customer prepays for food (often meat, in bulk or freezer plans) delivered over time. Because the customer pays ahead of delivery, Colorado historically required a food-plan organizer (and bonded meat processors handling these plans) to post a consumer-protection bond — so customers could recover if the food was never delivered.
Important and honest: Colorado repealed its statewide home-food-service / food-plan regulatory program in 2018. House Bill 18-1183 eliminated the regulation of home food service plans (repealing Article 35.5 of Title 35 effective July 1, 2018) after a DORA sunset review found the program obsolete — the number of licensees had fallen below ten. So this is no longer a standing statewide license bond.
If you’re asked for one today, it’s typically a contractual or local requirement — or you’re carrying it voluntarily to reassure prepaying customers. There’s no current statutory amount, so enter the figure you were asked for; pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information. Meat processing itself remains regulated (custom processing under Title 35, Article 33), but that program does not impose this prepaid-customer bond.
