Food Safety Kansas

Have you had a foodborne illness and don’t know where to report the problem?

The Kansas Department of Agriculture and Kansas Department of Health & Environment just launched “Food Safety Kansas” at www.foodsafetykansas.org/. Here you can report an illness caused by a restaurant, food item, or from an event. You can also report a problem with a restaurant that did NOT cause an illness.

The goal is to improve accessibility and reduce anonymous complaints. Those anonymous complaints slow down investigations to find solutions.

The public can also phone in complaints:

  • Foodborne illnesses — 877-427-7317
  • Restaurant practices — 785-564-6767

Since that time, the Center has grown to be of valuable assistance to Kansas State University Extension Specialists in those areas.
