I believe there are people who test for pesticide residues toxic waste etc and such. However, I never had to do it myself, so I don't know who to call. I would start by calling your exchange service and also find out where that "free compost" came from.
Keep in mind it may be nothing. But a precautionary approach is probably warranted due to the fact this is food we are talking about.
