The Food Standards Agency regularly issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to keep consumers and local authorities informed about food-related concerns. In situations where there's a significant issue with a food product, it may either be 'withdrawn' from shelves or 'recalled' for customers to return. On rare occasions, a 'Food Alert for Action' is disseminated, guiding local authorities on specific actions to protect consumers.
