- If you believe that your food has been exposed to a biological, chemical, physical, or nuclear agent,
or if you believe an intentional terrorist threat will occur or is occurring that is related to food
products, please contact your local police or click here for other law enforcement agencies (or check
your local telephone directory).
- If you are unable to reach the local police department, you may contact the State Police Domestic
Terrorism Hotline at 1.866.488.8554.
** Please note that because any terrorist act is a criminal activity, the local police department
needs to be notified first of any terrorist threats or incidents in regards to food. The Virginia
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services stands ready to assist local, state, and federal
authorities should a terrorist threat or event affecting food occur.
Should you have questions or concerns about the above protocol, you may contact the VDACS Food Safety and
Security Program at 804.786.3520.
