If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued.
This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.

Welshpool resident with Parkinson's to open garden to public
A Welshpool resident with Parkinson's is opening his garden to the public as part of the National Garden Scheme (NGS). Keith Wall, 67, is set to welcome visitors to his garden as part of the Guilsfield Group on Sunday, August 10. Mr Wall, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2013, has found gardening to be a source of positivity and purpose. Mr Wall said: "It's about recognising that you can't do as much as you'd like. "But I now realise that I'm just a bit slower and that with help I can keep doing the things I love." Gardening is one of those passions. Mr Wall's love of horticulture began with his father, who worked as head gardener at Eastnor Castle in Ledbury. He said: "I picked up a love of gardening and especially of long-lasting, bright colour in the garden from him. "Begonias in particular are my favourite, for their colour and longevity. "Even on a dull day they are bright and cheerful." Mr Wall shares the garden with his wife, Rhian. The front garden is modest, but the rear garden, which backs onto a nature reserve, is packed with colour from echinacea, snapdragons, and rudbeckia. Mr Wall said: "There's always deadheading to be done and it's been so dry that watering has been pretty full-time recently too. "I just do a bit, rest for a bit, do a bit more and the time just goes." Despite mobility challenges and needing help with taller plants, he still spends four to five hours tending to the garden. Mr Wall also enjoys daily walks and took part in the recent Parkinson's UK Cymru Walk. He is also an active member of the Parkinson's support group in his area. Parkinson's UK has received more than £2.4 million from garden openings since 2012. Mr Wall said: "We've had such wonderful support from the local National Garden Scheme team, and the Parkinson's UK local group have all promised to come to support on our open day on Sunday, August 10." He said the experience of visiting other NGS gardens has helped calm his nerves about opening his own. Mr Wall said: "I know from visiting gardens that they not only provide great inspiration for gardeners, but that the garden owners are happy to share their expert advice and often great plants too, so I'm looking forward to offering our visitors a really warm, bright welcome too."

UnitedHealth forecasts annual profit below estimates
July 29 (Reuters) - UnitedHealth on Tuesday reinstated full-year profit forecast that it pulled over two months ago, but its guidance fell short of analysts' already-lowered expectations, as the U.S. health insurer battles rising costs in its government-backed plans. The company (UNH.N), opens new tab, which has seen a series of setbacks this year, also missed Wall Street expectations for second-quarter earnings. The results show the scale of the challenges UnitedHealth's new CEO Stephen Hemsley is facing after being restored to the role in May following the abrupt resignation of incumbent Andrew Witty. Its shares fell 5% in premarket trading after the company said its new forecast reflects expectations for higher realized and anticipated care trends. UnitedHealth suspended its 2025 forecast in May, a historic first for the insurer, citing higher-than-anticipated medical expenditures, which have also rattled its peers. The company on Tuesday forecast annual profit of at least $16 per share, lower than its previous expectation of $26 to $26.50 per share. Analysts on average were expecting a profit of $20.91 per share, per LSEG data. The healthcare conglomerate reiterated that it expects to return to earnings growth in 2026. The company's adjusted second-quarter profit of $4.08 per share missed analysts' average estimate of $4.48.
