About product recalls and withdrawals
The FSA clarified that if there was an issue with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ – removed from the shelves – or ‘recalled’ – when customers are asked to return the product. The FSA said it issued Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
In certain instances, a ‘Food Alert for Action’ is issued. This gives local authorities information about particular measures to be implemented on consumers’ behalf.
