At Food Lion our customers are entitled to the highest possible level of food safety. As a company we will strive to meet our obligations to produce safe and legal products, uphold, and commit to regulatory compliance with FDA and Health Department standards.

A food recall is voluntary, initiated by a manufacturer or a distributor to protect the public from products that may cause health problems or may be misbranded (incorrect labeling and/or packaging). 

Types of Recalls

Class I - This is the most serious. Eating the food may cause health problems or even death.

Class II - This involves a potential health hazard [where the product might cause a temporary health problem or pose only a slight threat of a serious nature if the food is eaten].

Class III - This involves a situation where eating the product [is unlikely to] cause a health problem, but the product [is in violation of FDA labeling or manufacturing laws].
