  • How to respond to food safety email notification

As the Department of Public Instruction is not directly involved in procurement of schools' commercial purchases, we may not always receive the details and information necessary to notify schools and/or monitor commercial product recalls. The best way for schools to obtain this information is to receive email notifications regarding food recalls. Schools can sign up for free email updates through this website: www.recalls.gov or keep track of non-USDA Food products (commercially purchased) via the FoodSafety.gov website widget.
