Food recall methods are procedures used to remove unsafe or contaminated food products from the market. These methods often involve notifying retailers, distributors, and consumers about the potential risks associated with specific items. The recall process typically includes identifying the affected products, determining the scope of the recall, and providing instructions for returning or disposing of the items. Government agencies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), play a crucial role in overseeing food recalls. They monitor reports of foodborne illnesses and can initiate recalls when necessary. Companies are also responsible for conducting their own recalls and ensuring public safety.
