FDA and USDA Alerts |

It occurred to me today that many people do not know how to get information on food and product recalls. We often hear about these recalls once they have made it to the mainstream news desks, and usually only after there has been an incident of some sort that has made it newsworthy.
But as a parent, consumer, food eater and preparer, I want to know this information as soon as possible so that I can make more informed decisions when purchasing food or equipment for my family and home. So I figured you all would like to do the same thing.
Often times we hear about how the government does not do enough to keep us informed on these subjects, however the FDA and USDA actually have a great system to keep you informed, you just need to know about it, kind of a “catch 22” of sorts.
