About 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If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).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 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.

Consumption can pose serious health risks, especially for risk groups. Listeria usually manifests itself within 14 days of infection with diarrhea and fever. People who have eaten this food and develop severe or persistent symptoms should seek medical help and point out a possible Listeria infection.

Note: If the product is completely heated to at least 70°C, for example by cooking or frying, the bacterium is killed and the risk of infection is negligible. Nevertheless, we advise against its use out of caution.
