What to do
- Compare the brand, product name, size, UPC and the lot code or best-by date on your package with the recall. Recalls usually cover specific lots or dates, not every package.
- If your product matches, do not eat it. Return it to the store for a refund or throw it away, as the recall notice says.
- If you or someone in your family feels sick after eating a recalled food, call your doctor and say which product it was. Get emergency care for severe symptoms.
- Report a problem or illness to FDA through the Safety Reporting Portal (safetyreporting.hhs.gov). For meat, poultry and egg products, call USDA at 1-888-674-6854.
