Safety

Food Alerts

From time to time, problems occur during the production and distribution of food. These may be caused by production faults, contamination or sabotage.

A communications network exists throughout the country which involves the Food Standards Agency, Environmental Health Departments, Food Manufacturers, Distributors and Suppliers. Therefore, if a Food Hazard Warning is issued, the relevant food can be traced as quickly as possible, and removed from the food chain.

Food Hazard warnings are categorised according to the urgency or seriousness of the
situation, and the most important situations may also be communicated via the media. The category of warning determines what action should be taken.
