Recalls sparked by food safety issues
Most food recalls are voluntarily initiated by businesses when they become aware of a potential food safety or suitability issues. MPI coordinates all food recalls for food products sold in New Zealand and works with food businesses to ensure the recall is effectively carried out.
Food recalls can also occur after investigations of reported foodborne illness, or complaints about the safety or suitability of food.
