Food Safety Consumer Complaint Hotline offered by Washington State Department of Agriculture

Operates a hotline for consumers to report food problems.  Complaints can be about food purchased at the grocery store or eaten in a restaurant, or about a food processor or warehouse facility.   Depending on the nature of the complaint, type of food product, the place of purchase, and the location it was prepared or manufactured, WSDA will either conduct the preliminary investigation internally or refer the complaint to food safety colleagues at the local, state or federal agencies.
