U.S. Government Recalls

Hi, recently I received an email pointing me to a product recalls page from different United States Government agencies (http://www.recalls.gov). This is a great resource, and if you're interested you can not only search the page for past/current recalls, but you can be alerted via email when new recalls are announced (http://www.recalls.gov/list.html).

The FDA has created a page talking about the recall of peanut products (http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/salmonellatyph.html).
