Members of the public often make contact, initially usually by telephone to bring to our attention their suspicions that they have suffered illness as a result of eating food purchased locally. The details from the complainant should be recorded and passed through to the Food Safety Manager for action as soon as possible as a rapid response may be necessary.
The main illness that are likely to be reported include;
- Suspect food poisoning
- Salmonella
- Campylobacter
- Viral food poisoning
