Local Health Department Partners: Should you encounter these products during routine surveillance inspections, please bring to management’s attention and ensure that product is removed from consumer access.
REMINDER: Where follow-up is warranted, special attention should be given to salvage/discount food stores, food banks, soup kitchens, ethnic markets, and other similar operations. Because they may not receive product directly from manufacturers or wholesale food distributers, these types of operations have the greatest potential of not being informed of food product recalls.
