Food alerts are released by the Food Standards Agency as a way of letting people know about problems associated with food. They fall into two categories: food alerts - for action and food alerts - for information.
Action
The action we take depends on how severe the alert is. It may include:
- Circulating the information to the food and health team
- Issuing a press release
- Contacting premises by letter or in person to remove certain products
- Visiting premises to remove food
