Food Recall Basics:
What you should know

The first thing you should know is that food recalls are issued for your safety and should not cause panic. The most important thing you can do to protect yourself and your family is to be informed and pay attention to guidance issued when a major food recall occurs.

Food recall notices are given in the news, at your local grocery store, or online at www.recalls.gov.

Understand that the recall of one product does not mean all forms of that product are a potential problem.

Occasionally recalls will be expanded to include additional products as more information is gathered.
