Report finds federal food recall system failing to notify consumers in a timely manner

Summary

A new report from the non-profit U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) reveals that fewer food recalls are being announced by the federal government, indicating a shift in approach by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The report criticizes the recall system for not acting in a timely manner during outbreaks and highlights that when food safety problems are discovered, little is done to ensure consumers are notified. Companies are expected to notify the FDA and issue a news release, but there is no requirement to contact grocery stores, restaurants, or directly notify consumers.
