The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 in 6 Americans gets sick by consuming contaminated foods or beverages each year. These are a common public health problem and often go unreported.

If you think you became sick from something you ate, please let us know. Your information is reviewed by the health department and may help in outbreak investigations. You can report your illness in a few ways:

1. Submit a report online using I Got Sick. This is a web-based reporting system that reviews your symptoms, places you visited, and what you ate. https://pubredcap.health.utah.gov/surveys/?s=AMR9NWM7YP8FFDF3
2. Submit your complaint by phone, by calling (435) 587-3838. A staff member will assist you in completing the I Got Sick form.

For general questions regarding foodborne illnesses, please call (435) 587-3838.

Please fill in all fields as completely as possible. The information you provide will help us determine if your illness is food related and what steps need to be taken by the appropriate Local Health Department.
