Food recalls

A food recall occurs when a company removes a product from commerce because it may be unsafe, adulterated, or mislabeled. Recalls can involve pathogens, undeclared allergens, foreign materials, or other hazards.

A recall notice identifies the affected products, often using brand, package size, lot or date codes, and distribution information. Compare those details carefully with the product in your possession.
