Food Alerts

Food Alerts, Product Withdrawals and Recalls

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) operates a system to alert the public and local authorities to problems concerning food.

A Product Withdrawal Information Notice or a Product Recall Information Notice is issued where a solution to the problem has been put in place - the product has been, or is being, withdrawn from sale or recalled from consumers.

A Food Alert for Action is issued for more serious food safety problems, where intervention by enforcement authorities is required.

These notices and alerts are often issued in conjunction with a product withdrawal or recall by a manufacturer, retailer or distributor.

Details of the latest product withdrawals and recalls, including Food Alerts for Action, can be found on the Food Standards Agency web site; in many cases the food issues they refer to will have been resolved.
