CONSUMERS: Stay knowledgeable about recalls & understand how they can impact you, your family, friends and/or pets or livestock! If you think you have purchased a recalled product, do not open or consume it; instead, follow the instructions in the recall notice, +/or return it to the place of purchase.

INDUSTRY: All food manufacturers in Georgia must conduct finished product/ingredient testing and any confirmed positive test results must be reported to the GDA within 24 hours of obtaining the test results (even if the product is still in the firm's control). Report positives to 404-657-4801 or postiveresults@agr.georgia.gov. Get additional GDA guidance here; more FDA guidance here.
If you think you may be experiencing symptoms of foodborne illness or "food poisoning," contact your local health department & notify a primary care physician (request clinical samples be taken to confirm illness).
