Advice Line
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) provides an Advice Line service. This offers help and guidance on food legislation and food safety matters. The Advice Line may be contacted by email (info@fsai.ie) or by telephone (1890-336677).
Guidance
The FSAI produces guidance material to assist enforcement officers in their enforcement activities. This guidance is also designed to support food businesses in complying with relevant food legislation. It is available mostly free of charge on this website. Some of this information is available in hard copy, again mostly free of charge.
Making a complaint about a food or food establishment
A ‘Make a complaint’ form is provided on the FSAI website. This is for those consumers wanting to make a complaint about a food or food establishment. Complaints received are subsequently investigated by the relevant official agency on behalf of the FSAI.
