By law, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) is required to tell you that the information you provide will be used as part of an investigation into a possible violation of Minnesota law including MN statutes chapter 18B and or 18C and may result in enforcement by MDA. You are not legally required to provide us with the information; your participation in this matter is voluntary, but without it MDA may be unable to pursue your complaint or take enforcement action. The information you give us, including your name as a complainant, may be classified as private or nonpublic under Minnesota law. Private and confidential information will be available only to those individuals and entities that are legally authorized to access or receive it, including MDA employees and contractors that have a work-related reason to use the information. In certain circumstances, the information may also be provided to law enforcement, the Attorney General’s Office, Minnesota courts, or to other government entities if the investigation reveals a crime or a risk to human health or safety. Finally, the information may be released to the state or legislative auditors or to parties named in a valid subpoena or court order.

Please also note the following:

  • Please be advised that a person must not knowingly make or offer a false statement, record, or other information as part of an inspection or investigation. Providing false information to the MDA may result in a separate enforcement response.
