Find out about the latest food alerts, product withdrawals and recalls from the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
Food alerts, product withdrawals and recalls
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issues a 'Product Withdrawal Information Notice' or a 'Product Recall Information Notice' to let councils and consumers know about problems associated with food. In some cases, it issues a 'Food Alert for Action'. This provides councils with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.
The FSA issues a Product Withdrawal Information Notice or a Product Recall Information Notice where a solution to the problem has been put in place - the product has been, or is being, withdrawn from sale or recalled from consumers, for example. It issues a Food Alert for Action where intervention is required by enforcement authorities. The FSA often issues these notices and alerts in conjunction with a product withdrawal or recall by a manufacturer, retailer or distributor.
