Understanding Product Recalls
When there is a problem with a food product, it may be withdrawn (removed from sale) or recalled (customers asked to return it). The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issues notices to inform consumers and local authorities about such issues. In some cases, a ‘Food Alert for Action’ is issued to provide specific actions for local authorities to protect consumers.
Consumers are encouraged to stay informed about these recalls to avoid potential health risks and ensure the safety of their food products.
