WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

Some advice about the recalls:

• Don't open the food to inspect it. Because bacteria and viruses are invisible, odorless, and tasteless, you aren't going to be able to tell if your product is contaminated or not.
• Don't eat the food
• Double-check the recall notice to find out what you should do with the recalled product.
