Food Alerts
loudspeaker on pole
Food Alerts are the FSA's way of letting local authorities and consumers know about problems associated with food and, in some cases, provide details of specific action to be taken.
They are issued under two categories:
-
Food Alerts: for Action (replacing A, B and C)
-
Food Alerts: for
Information (replacing Category D)
Food Alerts are are also copied to Consultants in Communicable Disease Control, Trading Standards Officers and food trade organisations, to alert them to current food issues.
They are often issued in conjunction with a product withdrawal or recall by a manufacturer, retailer or distributor.
You can find our most recent Food Alerts listed below.
Because of the Agency's openness remit, we also archive ones that we've issued in the past. You can find them via the search box at the bottom of this page. In many cases the food issues they refer to will have been resolved.
