FDA “widget” takes you to info about products recalled due to Salmonella fears

Many more peanut-containing products linked to the Salmonella outbreak are likely to be recalled in the coming weeks, U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials warn.

To help consumers stay informed, the FDA has created a widget (see below) that will show you a list of the products that have been recalled grouped by category.

You can also learn about the latest recalls go to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) update page, which includes a link to a searchable database of recalled products.

Consumers can also call a helpline maintained by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) where operators can look up a product you have concerns about and tell you if it is on the FDA list.

The number is 1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636).

The line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

If you want updates on the latest recalls as they are posted, you can sign up to follow the FDA recalls on Twitter.
