Food poisoning outbreaks
If a number of people ate at the same venue and have the same
food poisoning-type symptoms, this may be due to a food poisoning
outbreak.
Call us to report a food poisoning outbreak
on 0845 121 2971
Our investigation into the outbreak will involve:
- Interviewing people who are ill.
- Interviewing others who ate at the venue but didn't have
symptoms.
- Taking faecal and food samples (if appropriate).
- Inspecting the implicated venue.
If a business is found to be responsible, action will be
taken to prevent further outbreaks.
