Food and Safety Advice for the Public

hbcadmin, 19 February 2019

Common food complaints

• Food contaminated with a foreign body e.g. hair, plastic, glass, insect.
• Under-cooked food.
• Deteriorated food e.g. mouldy.
• Food that had an unpleasant taste.
• Food that was out of date.

Not all of these pose a risk to public health or safety, so an officer will assess each complaint to determine the most appropriate course of action.
