Once a company initiates a food recall, it is the responsibility of either FDA or FSIS to evaluate the potential severity of the recall and make sure that all reasonable efforts to remove or correct the problem are being made. These regulatory agencies will also seek media publicity when the situation warrants widespread and rapid public awareness. In most cases, FDA and FSIS do not deem it necessary to alert the media to recalls; however, every recall is posted to agency Websites for consumers to seek out at their convenience.
