🚨 Think You Got Sick from Something You Ate? Report It! 🚨

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health has launched Report My Meal, a new online tool that makes it easy to report suspected foodborne illness to state and local public health officials.

If you experience symptoms such as:
✔️ Diarrhea
✔️ Vomiting
✔️ Stomach cramps

after eating food from a restaurant, event, or other food establishment, reporting your illness can help public health officials investigate potential outbreaks and prevent others from becoming sick.
