food recall

A food recall is a measure taken by manufacturers, distributors, or regulatory agencies to remove or correct food products from the market that may pose health risks. This can happen if a product is found to contain harmful substances, contaminants, or mislabeling. The goal is to protect consumers from potential illness or injury. Recall notices are issued to inform the public and retailers to stop selling or distributing the affected products. Not all recalls mean the food is unsafe; some are voluntary and for quality assurance reasons. Overall, recalls are a key component of food safety management.
