Food and Medical Safety Alerts or Recalls
When considered necessary, the US Food and Drug Administration requires mandatory recalls of dangerous and defective products and also alerts the public about issues of medicine, food or beverage safety. When the FDA learns of a dangerous substance or ingredient known or suspected to pose a health hazard to humans or pets, the Food and Drug Administration posts press releases and other notices of recalls and market withdrawals from the firms involved, as a service to consumers, the media, and other interested parties. These notices sometimes involve voluntary recalls by manufacturers and suppliers. Check this site often to learn about the latest recall notices and alerts from FDA.
