The removal of unsafe or non-compliant food from sale and distribution, coordinated in Australia by FSANZ.
The removal of unsafe or non-compliant food from sale and, where needed, from consumers, to protect public health.
FSANZ coordinates food recalls in Australia, working with food businesses and state and territory enforcement agencies.
Reasons include microbial contamination, undeclared allergens, foreign objects, chemical contamination and incorrect labelling.
A trade level recall involves only wholesalers and retailers, while a consumer level recall asks the public to return or dispose of the product.
Check whether it holds the affected product, remove it from sale and use, and follow the recall instructions, using receiving records to act quickly.
