According to the data of Finnish Food Safety Authority Evira, the withdrawals of food products have been on the increase in recent years. Data on withdrawals have been recorded more systematically since 2006. The recording of data has become somewhat more explicit over time, which means that the statistics of different years are not necessarily fully comparable. This should be taken into account when analysing the results. Statistics are useful, however, in providing information about the development of the trend.
