How to report food-safety concerns in Larimer County

Choose the right online form for a retail food-safety complaint or suspected illness from food eaten at a retail establishment; staff check complaints against county regulations.

Here’s which concerns the county can investigate, how to file a complaint and how to report a suspected foodborne illness.

The department investigates complaints about environmental hazards that affect public health, including retail food safety. It cannot investigate complaints about non-retail food pest infestations.

You can submit a complaint through the File a Complaint form. If you have questions or need help completing a complaint form, call 970-498-6775 or email [email protected].

How can I report a suspected foodborne illness?

If you think you became sick from something you ate at a retail food establishment, use the Foodborne Illness Complaint Form.

What happens after the county receives a food-safety complaint?

County staff review a submitted complaint to determine whether it falls within enforceable county regulations. If it does, a specialist is assigned and begins an investigation.
