Food Recall Check & Action Log

Check whether a product you bought is under an active recall, and log what you did about it.

Recall notices don't reach everyone who bought the product

A recall notice runs once, briefly, and most people who bought the product never see it. By the time you hear about one secondhand, you need to know fast whether what's in your cupboard is actually affected.

This log gives you a place to check a product against the recall databases that matter, and to record what you did next — returned it, disposed of it, or requested a refund — in case you ever need to show you acted.

Step by step

  1. Check the product against the relevant recall database for your country.
  2. Log the recall reference number, the affected batch/lot, and the reason.
  3. Record what you did — returned, disposed of, or requested a refund or replacement.
  4. Track any refund or replacement claim through to resolution.

Anyone checking a product against an active food recall

If you've heard a product might be recalled, this walks you through checking it properly and keeps a record of what you did once you confirmed it.

  • Recall-check log with links to FDA, FSA, FSANZ and EU Safety Gate recall databases
  • Recall reference and affected-batch log
  • Action tracker (returned/disposed/refund requested)
  • Refund/replacement log — delivered as PDF + Excel

Check it, then keep the record.

Knowing where to check is half the job — a dated log of what you did next is the other half.
