Food Premises and Food Complaints
If you have a problem with an item of food you have purchased in the Test Valley Borough, you can tell us and we will look into it. If possible, place the food item in an unused polythene food bag and keep it somewhere safe (such as a fridge or freezer). We can then arrange for one of the team to collect the item from you for investigation. A copy of the Food and Food Premises Complaints Policy can be downloaded below.
