If you’re concerned or dissatisfied with how food is
labeled, you can either contact the shop where you bought the
product, or the maker, packer or seller, whose name and address
details should be on the label.
If you think a product is labeled with false or
misleading information, contact your local trading standards or
environmental health department with the details.
If you get food poisoning, let your environmental
health department and your medical doctor know.
The Food Standards Agency is a Great Britain-wide,
independent government agency which provides advice and
information to the public and government on food safety,
nutrition and diet.
This agency was created to protect the interests of
consumers and its guiding principles are to
- put the consumer first;
- be open and accessible;
- be an independent voice.
The Agency’s advice is based on the best scientific
evidence available from independent expert advisory
committees, and all its advice is made public.
