Most state health departments encourage consumers to report food poisoning incidents to local health departments. Some counties and cities refer to these as environmental health departments.

Here we have provided links to pages on state health department or public health association websites where you can directly report a foodborne illness, get health inspection information, or where you can obtain contact information for your local/county public health agency.
