Recalls
Once a product is in widespread use, unforeseen problems can sometimes lead to a recall. When an FDA-regulated product is either defective or potentially harmful, recalling that product—removing it from the market or correcting the problem—is the most effective means for protecting the public. In most cases, a recall results from an unintentional mistake by the company, rather than from an intentional disregard for the law.
Harvest Hope Food Bank Recall Policy
Feeding America and USDA sends email with recall to designated food bank staff. The partnering agency will receive an email, and/or phone call immediately if recall affects product they may have received from the food bank. Partnering agencies MUST in turn call all clients receiving recalled product with instructions as to how to properly dispose of the recalled product.
