Why Food Recalls Matter—Even After the Expiration Date

Think recalls don’t matter if the expiration date has passed? Not always. Some products stick around in homes long after they’re pulled from shelves. Food safety isn’t just about what’s fresh—it’s about understanding how food moves through the supply chain and what risks linger even after the recall is issued. Whether it’s allergen mislabeling, contamination, or foreign objects, staying informed helps consumers make smarter, safer decisions in the grocery aisle.

Food recalls happen all the time—some barely make headlines. Keep up with the latest updates, so you’re not caught off guard.
