On August 20, 2020, the Alliance to Stop Foodborne Illness convened a group of food safety experts (working group) to outline how food recall processes in the United States can be improved. This working group recognized that there is a need for fundamental change in food recall processes to protect consumers from harmful products and decrease the burden of foodborne illness. With as many as 500 food recalls a year impacting suppliers, retailers, food service, and consumers, the working group recommends a strategic approach to modernize the entire recall system and enhance its overall effectiveness for the consumer.
As the voice of people affected by foodborne illness, we collaborate with partners in academia, the food industry, and government to prevent foodborne illness. We advocate for effective food safety policy and facilitate culture change to increase food safety.
