Popular Questions
If you are just starting with food recalls, where should you check for current notices?
Start with official notices from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, depending on the product involved. Check the brand, product name, lot code, size, and use-by date against the notice.
What should you do when you are just starting to deal with a food recall at home?
Stop eating the recalled food and separate it from other groceries. Do not taste it to decide whether it is safe, because contaminated food may look and smell normal. Follow the recall notice for disposal or return instructions, then wash your hands and clean any surfaces or containers that touched the product.
How can someone just starting with food recalls tell whether a product is affected?
Compare the product’s exact name, package size, identifying codes, and dates with the official recall announcement. A recall may apply only to specific lots, production dates, or retailers rather than every item under a brand name. If the information is unclear, contact the manufacturer or retailer and keep the packaging available for reference.
