I am pleased to announce that eFoodAlert will resume regular posting of recalls and alerts later today, with a few changes.
A review of the demographics of our readership has made it clear that approximately 90% (or more) of readers and subscribers are based in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. In order to free up some time and energy, I have decided to limit my posts to recalls and alerts from English-speaking countries.
To assist those among you who are interested in recall notifications from European countries whose web sites are not published in English, a list of live links to various national recall sites will appear on each Recalls & Alerts post.
Recall posts will appear every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday as before. I shall continue to monitor and report on various food safety issues, outbreak investigations, and pet food issues as they arise.
On a personal note, I very much appreciate your messages of support and good wishes during this recent difficult time. Thank you.
Here is today’s list of food safety recalls, product withdrawals, allergy alerts and miscellaneous compliance issues. The live links will take you directly to the official recall notices and company news releases that contain detailed information for each recall and alert.
If you would like to receive automatic email alerts for all new articles posted on eFoodAlert, please submit your request using the sidebar link.
