Q: I had a ricotta cheese sandwich at a restaurant that tasted "off." I didn't get sick, but could I report them?
A: Since you did not get sick, "reporting" them would not be necessary. It is possible that their food is just not very tasty, or someone else unrelated to the ricotta cheese. If you were truly displeased, you should have informed the restaurant while you were there, and if you are insistent on "reporting" them, notify the restaurant about it.
A: Sure, you could report anyone for anything. It would probably be better to work it out with the restaurant, however. You have no injury at all except a bad taste in your mouth. If they use a product that just leaves aftertaste, they probably aren't breaking any laws/regulations. I've wanted to report my mother-in-law for the taste her food leaves in my mouth, but I don't think the authorities want to be bothered with something that isn't a violation of law.
