Hundreds of foods are recalled by the FDA every year. Food recalls could fall into different categories, depending on how dangerous the product is to consumers.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is responsible for the regulation of many food recalls. Meat, poultry and processed egg products are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A food recall is issued when a product violates FDA guidelines. There are several ways the FDA gets notified that a recall needs to happen. One of which is if the manufacturer comes across the defect in their product and contacts the FDA, according to FindLaw.com.
One example of a situation where a Class I recall is issued is if the FDA discovers a dangerous drug. PET FOOD RECALLED OVER POSSIBLE SALMONELLA, LISTERIA CONTAMINATION A product that is classified under a Class II recall could still inflict harm on consumers, but is less serious than a Class I recall.
