A market withdrawal occurs when a product has a minor violation that would not be subject to FDA legal action. The firm removes the product from the market or corrects the violation. The course of action for consumers is typically less urgent but includes being aware of the withdrawal and checking if the product is in their possession, and following the company's instructions for return or disposal.

A recall is a process initiated by a manufacturer or government agency to return a product after the discovery of safety issues or product defects that might endanger the consumer or put the maker/seller at risk of legal action. For a food recall, the course of action includes removing the product from shelves, stopping consumption, and following the specific instructions provided by the issuing agency.

An allergy alert is issued when a food product contains an undeclared allergen that could pose a serious health risk to individuals with food allergies. The course of action is to check product labels for potential undeclared allergens, avoid consuming the product if you have a relevant allergy, and return the product or follow disposal instructions as outlined by the alert.

A Public Health Advisory is a statement issued by health authorities to inform the public about a health risk associated with a food product.
