Anyone with suspicions of food crime or food fraud can now report it in confidence, via phone or email, to the Food Crime Unit's 'Food Crime Confidential' reporting facility
The Food Standards Agency’s National Food Crime Unit (NFCU) works to protect people from serious criminal activity that affects the safety or authenticity of food and drink.
To make it easier to report food crime, the unit has launched a hotline for tip-offs from the public or food industry workers.
The NFCU would like to hear from anyone with suspicions:
•that food or drink contains things it shouldn’t;
•that something is wrong with the methods used for producing, processing, storing, labelling or transporting food;
•that an item of food or drink says it is of a certain quality or from a specific place or region, but doesn’t appear to be.
