about product recalls and withdrawals

If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be withdrawn (taken off the shelves) or recalled (when customers are asked to return the product). The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food. In some cases, a Food alert for Action is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.
