Report poor food safety and hygiene practices

Please note, as a result of the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it may not be possible for local authorities to respond to you quickly on the problem you report but they will be investigated where this is appropriate and practical in the current circumstances. 

Step 1 of 5

Report poor food safety and hygiene practices in a restaurant, store or other food outlet to the business's local authority.

For example:

  • dirty premises
  • poor hand hygiene
  • poor food handling
  • unavailable or incorrect allergen information

Poor customer service should be reported to the business directly.

Enter the name and address of the UK business where you noticed poor food safety or hygiene and select from the dropdown list.
