Food Recalls and You

In light of a recent article about food recalls that we posted about on our Facebook and Twitter, we want to know how you feel about food recalls. Concerned or aware of them regularly? Do you check your pantry if you think you have a recalled item? And the most interesting question of all, would you eat a product that you suspect might be part of a food recall?

Food Recalls

Here’s an excerpt from the article by Jan Baggarly.

“Only about 60 percent of the consumers included in the survey reported ever having looked for recalled food in their homes, and only 10 percent said they had ever found a recalled food product. The study also showed that even when people find recalled food in their homes, they don’t always do what they are told to do with it. Approximately 12 percent reported eating a food they thought…recalled.”
