The Food Recall Process and Public Health
In order to safeguard public health, we must maintain high quality and safety standards for food products distributed throughout the United States. However, despite rigorous quality control measures, occasionally, a product may pose a risk to consumers. Risks associated with food products may be due to product contamination, mislabeling, or other issues.
