Australian food recalls

Food recalls remove unsafe food from sale to protect consumers. Food can be recalled for a range of reasons, including product contamination, undeclared allergens and labelling errors. When a recall happens, FSANZ works with food businesses and regulators to coordinate the response and inform consumers.
