Peanut Butter Recall
-March 23, 2009-Comments (0)
If you are a fan of peanut butter, you certainly took notice when the peanut product recall information was hitting the airways. Unfortunately, when the press stopped reporting the recall information, many people assumed the recall was over. There have been new peanut product recalls as recently as last week. Do you know where to go to find the latest information on food recalls?The U.S. Food & Drug Administration is responsible for issuing recalls on both food and medical products, as well as products that can impact your health, such as cosmetics and other beauty products. Their product recall page keeps an open list of all recalls, market withdrawals, and safety alerts from the last 60 days. There also is a searchable database of past recalls.
The peanut product recalls have been so widespread, the FDA has developed a separate page for all peanut product recall information. This page includes a history of the problem, a searchable listing of all products that have been recalled, and contact information if you need to follow up. On this page, you also can sign up for recall alerts via e-mail or follow e-mail alerts via RSS feeds, Twitter, or their blog.
Has the salmonella outbreak in peanut products impacted you or someone you know?
