Report A Foodborne Illness

What would you like to do?

Did you or someone you know get sick from something you ate from a Nebraska food establishment? For example, a restaurant, grocery store, convenience store.
Did you or someone you know recently attend an event where other people became ill? For example, wedding, concert, conference, retirement party, etc.

If you prefer to report by phone, you may call your local health department or Nebraska DHHS Office of Epidemiology (402) 471-2937. If you have a food safety or sanitation complaint about a Nebraska grocery store or food establishment, please call (402) 471-3422 or visit their website Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) Food Safety and Consumer Protection.

When two or more people from different households get the same illness from the same contaminated food or drink, the event is called a foodborne outbreak.
Reporting illnesses to state and local health departments helps them identify potential outbreaks of foodborne disease.
Public health officials investigate outbreaks to control them, so more people do not get sick and to learn how to prevent similar outbreaks from happening in the future.
