Pet food recalls

Anne Norris of the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine monitors recalls sharing what happens “when a product violates federal laws and needs immediate legal action.” Recalls can happen in three ways:

• the company pulls the product on its own
• the product is pulled by formal FDA request
• the product is pulled by an FDA order under the agency’s mandatory recall authority

Recalls are also classified three ways based on risk of adverse health consequences.
