Food recalls and withdrawals

This resource explains the requirements for food suppliers to manage recalls and withdrawals. Recalls remove unsafe food from sale due to health risks, while withdrawals address non-safety issues like labeling errors. Food recalls must be reported to authorities, and retailers must ensure recalled products are removed from shelves to protect consumers.
