Christmas is the time for food and snacking. With everyone at home enjoying the holidays, you can stock up on all food products - pre-cooked or veggies.
Holiday shoppers should be aware of the ongoing recalls of certain dishes that may be served at family get-togethers throughout the Christmas season as they browse the aisles this week for ingredients.
Food recalls can occur for several reasons, such as the presence of unidentified components that may cause an allergic reaction or the possibility of bacterial contamination, such as salmonella or E. coli.
Popular items used for appetizers, main courses, sides, holiday drinks, and desserts are among the recalled foods that might be served at the holiday meal.

Nowadays, food recalls are an unavoidable aspect of being a customer. Even businesses that promote the greatest food safety procedures occasionally create meals that pose a risk to customer safety, whether it's due to the presence of an unreported allergen or the presence of infectious microorganisms. Therefore, manufacturers remove products from stores and issue recalls to alert consumers not to consume them when they learn or believe a product is dangerous.
