Our food safety team investigates suspected cases of food poisoning.

You can report a case of food poisoning by calling (01788) 533533 or emailing fs@rugby.gov.uk

The team's investigations can include:

  • a detailed examination of the food
  • an inspection of the premises where the food was purchased
  • contact with the manufacturer or supplier of the food

The team has a range of enforcement powers, from informal action to prosecution.

IMPORTANT - if you or a family member have food poisoning symptoms (vomiting and diarrhoea), you should stay off work or school for 48 hours after the symptoms have stopped.

If symptoms persist, seek medical assistance.

Visit the Food Standards Agency website for more information of food enforcement and regulation.
