When the Food Standards Agency will issue food alerts
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issues information about problems associated with food.
Where necessary, they publish withdrawal or recall notices if a solution is in place. For example, the business stops selling the product or recalls it from people who’ve bought it.
The FSA issues a Food Alert for Action when enforcement authorities need to get involved. They often issue these alerts alongside the business’ product withdrawal or recall.
