How do you complain to the Health Department?

Question

I just found a hair in my Pink Berry. I've had other gross problems with food from elsewhere too and I'm getting really tired of people being irresponsible handling the food I eat. As it is, I only eat at resturaunts with A ratings, but it still sometimes seems like those ratings mean nothing, like when I find hair in my food, which has now happened to me twice in the last six months at places that had A ratings. And let's talk about the multiple times I've brought home moldy food that was supposedly fresh from major supermarkets.

So, I'm gonna start complaining. I went to the California Department of Health web site but couldn't find any complaint forms. Does anybody know how to go about this?

Answer 1

Send the local office a certified letter of your complaint. They may take it more seriously that way because they have to sign for the letter, & you have proof they recieved your complaint. Be sure to include specific incidences & come off concerned & professional, not angry.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Call the Health department on the phone.

Answer 3

Just call them and tell them your experiences.  They will probably send out an inspector.
