Food poisoning is caused by eating or drinking food which is contaminated by bacteria or viruses, or by chemicals or toxins.
There is usually no way of telling if food is contaminated. Foods most commonly associated with food poisoning are meat and poultry, shellfish, rice, eggs and dairy.
If you think you have experienced food poisoning as a result of eating at a food business based in Bedford Borough, please let us know.

Information on preventing food poisoning is available on the NHS Choices website.
