Complaints

I’ve bought some food that I am not happy with and I want to make a complaint about it. What do I do?

If your complaint is not of a serious nature (ie there is no risk of injury or illness), then we would encourage you to contact the shop or premises where you purchased the food and explain your concerns to them. See what they are prepared to do about it.

If you are not happy with their response or your complaint is more serious in nature then you can make a complaint to this department and we will investigate it. Please note that we cannot pursue any compensation claims on your behalf.

If you have a complaint about food, then contact the Food Safety team or use the food safety complaint online form.
