Food safety

Report a food safety issue

Complaints from members of the public about food are dealt with by our environmental health officers.

Typical complaints include:

  • food discoloured or smelling off
  • foreign body in food
  • product having been sold after its use-by date
  • food causing illness
  • unhygienic premises and food staff

Report a food complaint

Complaints are taken seriously and given high priority.

We will take appropriate enforcement action. This can involve an immediate visit to the premises where the food was sold.
