Food Poisoning

When people suffer sickness and diarrhoea they often suspect they are suffering from food poisoning. However, these symptoms can also result from viral infections, which may be airborne, or some other cause, and may not in fact be food related.

The only way of finding out whether you have food poisoning is to provide a stool (faecal) sample for testing. This can be arranged by your GP. If you have medical concerns, you should seek advice from your GP.

We will investigate reports of illness. Please contact the Health Protection Team on 01962 848 097 to report such illnesses or make a complaint about a food premises that you think might be linked to your illness. Alternatively you can make a report online.
