Food Poisoning

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to requiring each major food retailer to publish on their website a convenient way to report cases of food poisoning that are likely to have been caused by their products, and to take specified action upon such reports.

Answer

There are currently no plans to implement this. Food poisoning cases and other food safety or hygiene issues should be reported directly via the Food Standards Agency website, or directly to local authority food safety teams who are responsible for all types of food businesses in the area.
