Product Recalls and Withdrawals

If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food. In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.

若食品产品存在问题，意味着其不应销售，则该产品可能被'撤回'（从货架上移除）或'召回'（要求消费者退回产品）。英国食品安全局（FSA）发布产品撤回信息通告和产品召回信息通告，以便告知消费者和地方当局与食品相关的问题。在某些情况下，会发布'食品行动警报'。此通告为地方当局提供了代表消费者采取的具体行动细节。
