Food Safety - Illness and Contamination

What do you do if you find an unexpected ingredient in some food you have bought? A piece of glass, a piece of plastic, mould, or maybe you think the food you have bought has made you ill?

If you want us to investigate the matter you need to bring us the food, the foreign object and any packaging and receipt you have to the Environmental Health reception at Maltings House as soon as possible. If you can't get to us straight away or the offices are closed, please freeze the food and bring it as soon as you can. If you have dificulty in getting to our offices an officer will come and collect it from you during office hours. In this case and for any further advice please phone the Environmental Health hotline on 01493 846478
