To Report a Problem with Food
www.fsis.usda.gov
If you have a problem with a food
product... separate government agencies are responsible for protecting
different segments of the food supply. If you have experienced a problem
with a food product, be sure to contact the appropriate public health
organization.
For Help with Meat, Poultry and Processed Egg Products : Call the
toll-free USDA
Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) or report
the complaint online.
For
Help with Restaurant Food Problems: Call the Health Department in your
city, county or state. View a complete listing of State
Departments of Public Health.
For Help with Non-Meat Food Products
(Cereals, Fish, Produce, Fruit Juice, Pastas, Cheeses, etc): For complaints
about food products which do not contain meat or poultry — such as cereal —
call or write to the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA). Check your local phone book under U.S.
Government, Health and Human Services, to find an FDA office in your area.
The FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition can be reached at
1-888-723-3366.
In order for the USDA to investigate a problem with
meat, poultry or egg products, you must have:
-
The original container or packaging
-
Any foreign object that you might
have discovered in the product
-
Any uneaten portion of the food
(refrigerate or freeze it)
Information you should be ready to tell the Hotline on the phone
includes:
-
Name, address and phone number;
-
Brand name, product name and
manufacturer of the product
-
The size and package type
-
Can or package codes (not UPC bar
codes) and dates
-
Establishment number (EST) usually
found in the circle or shield near the "USDA passed and inspected"
phrase;
-
Name and location of the store, as
well as the date that you purchased the product.
You can complain to the
store or the product's manufacturer if you don't choose to make a formal
complaint to the USDA.
If you think you are ill, see a physician :
If an injury or illness allegedly resulted from use of a meat or poultry
product, you will also need to tell the Hotline staff about the type,
symptoms, time of occurrence and name of attending health professional (if
applicable).
The Bottom Line:
If you sense there's a problem with any food product, don't consume it. "When
in doubt, throw it out."
www.foodsafety.gov

What do you do if you think that you or a member of your family has food

How to Report an Adverse Event or Serious Problem
www.fda.gov -
US
Food & Drug Administration (FDA)
How Consumers Can Report an Adverse
Event or Serious Problem to FDA:
MedWatch is the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) program for reporting
serious reactions, product quality problems, therapeutic
in equivalence/failure, and product use errors with human medical products,
including drugs, biologic products, medical devices, dietary supplements,
infant formula, and cosmetics.
If you think you or someone in your family has experienced a serious
reaction to a medical product, you are encouraged to take the reporting form
to your doctor. Your health care provider can provide clinical information
based on your medical record that can help FDA evaluate your report.
However, we understand that for a variety of reasons, you may not wish to
have the form filled out by your health care provider, or your health care
provider may choose not to complete the form. Your health care provider is
NOT required to report to the FDA. In these situations, you may complete the
Online Reporting Form yourself.
You will receive an acknowledgement from FDA when your report is received.
Reports are reviewed by FDA staff. You will be personally contacted only if
we need additional information.
Submitting Adverse Event Reports to FDA
Use one of the methods below to submit voluntary adverse event reports to
the FDA:
-
Consumer Reporting Form FDA 3500B.
Follow the instructions on the form to either fax or mail it in for
submission. For help filling out the form, see MedWatch Learn.

Call FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 to
report by telephone
