University of Illinois Extension Nutrition Educator Discusses Food Recalls

An onion recall this week has consumers watching closely the foods they are purchasing. 

 

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, Caitlin Mellendorf - Nutrition Educator at the University of Illinois Extension Office in DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties - indicates there are three primary reasons for a food recall to be issued.

 

 

If you believe you have purchased a recalled item, Mellendorf encourages confirming that the food you've purchased has indeed been recalled. You can do that through the FDA website. Once you've confirmed your item is being recalled, you can throw it away or return it to the retailer you purchased it at.

 

 

Mellendorf reminds stores are quick to get those recall notices on their shelves so consumers are aware. She says it also boils down to consumers being aware of those recalls and aware of the foods we've purchased.
