Report a food safety or hygiene issue
You should contact us if you experience a food problem in a restaurant, food shop or with food ordered online.
You can report:
- suspected food poisoning
- a foreign object in your food
- dirty premises
- poor hand hygiene
- poor food handling
- food with visible signs of mould or decay
- food sold past its use-by date

If you believe you are suffering food poisoning you should visit your doctor as soon as possible. They can give you advice and may arrange some tests. The only way to confirm that you do have food poisoning is by giving a stool sample to your GP.
