Food PoisoningAvoid microbiological threats to your health
Every year hundreds of products are recalled because they contain microbiological threats. These can cause severe symptoms and result in mass outbreaks that affect everyone negatively. Since 2019 there has been 197 products that can put your health at risk. That is a product recall every 3 days.
How can consumers keep themselves protected? How can restaurants, cafes and food businesses ensure they are safe from contaminants in foods they serve? Just a few hours of delay might mean unknown exposure to these bacteria and viruses.
The media and the government are inefficient in disseminating critical recall information to consumers. Often times it takes days or weeks before a major recall is announced by the media.
Consumers are asked to be proactive, but they are at the mercy of slow channels to receive important news. Some recalls aren't event mentioned anywhere except official channels.
