food recall
Contamination-triggered market removal
A food recall is the removal of a food product from sale after safety concerns emerge—contamination, mislabeling, or undeclared allergens.
Recalls may be voluntary by manufacturers or ordered by regulators.
The company issued a food recall after E. coli was detected in the lettuce.
Recalls range from precautionary to urgent depending on health risk.
