The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has streamlined the reporting of product safety issues with the creation of the Safety Reporting Portal (SRP) for foods and dietary supplements. Complaints may be submitted about an illness, injury, allergic reaction, or about quality or safety defects for FDA regulated products. For more information, FDA has published Frequently Asked Questions

In addition to submitting complaints through the SRP, consumers can now call a new dedicated number, 1-888-SAFEFOOD, to submit complaints about foods and dietary supplements.

Consumer and whistleblower complaints serve as eyes and ears for the agency. This updated complaint process is designed improve FDA’s ability to detect and respond to problems in a timely manner and better protect public health.
