A best-by or expiration date alone is not enough. If the details match, do not open or eat it; follow the notice’s instructions for return or disposal.
How do I know if my food is recalled?
Start with the recall notice, not just the package date or a news headline. Compare every identifying detail the notice provides. These may include the brand and product name, package size and type, UPC, lot or batch code, use-by, best-by or sell-by date, and where the product was distributed. A USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) notice may also list an establishment number.

Recall notices are specific: the information listed in the notice must match the product you have. Not every notice uses every identifier, and codes or their locations vary by product and manufacturer. Do not assume that a similar name or matching date is sufficient.
For current notices, check FoodSafety.gov’s recalls and outbreaks page, which links to FDA and USDA notices. USDA FSIS handles meat, poultry, and processed egg products; FDA regulates other foods. Also check the responsible agency and the recalling company’s notice for product-specific details. FDA says not all recalls appear on its public warnings page.

What does the lot code mean?
A lot or batch code is a manufacturer’s production identifier. It can help distinguish one production group from another, which is why a recall may apply to certain codes rather than every package of a product. USDA FSIS describes “closed dating” as letters and/or numbers manufacturers use to identify a product’s production date and time; dating information can help manufacturers locate products during a recall.
There is no universal way to decode a lot code or a single place where every manufacturer prints it. Compare the code on your package with the exact code in the recall notice. The notice may include a label image to help identify the relevant markings.

Is a best-by date the same as an expiration date?
No. Food date labels and lot codes serve different identification purposes. Many consumer date labels relate to product quality; they do not, by themselves, establish whether a particular package is included in a recall. A date can help narrow affected products when a recall notice lists it, but it does not replace the other identifiers in that notice.
A product past its date is not automatically unsafe, and a product still within its date can still be recalled. For recall status, compare every identifier the notice names—not the date label alone. USDA FSIS explains product dating in its food product dating guidance.

What should I do if my product matches the notice?
- Do not open, prepare, or eat it. Keep the product away from other food while you check the notice.
- Read the complete notice. Follow its instructions and use its contact information if you need clarification. The notice determines whether the product should be returned, discarded, or handled another way.
- Return it if instructed or offered. Take it to the place of purchase and follow the notice or retailer’s directions. FDA says recalled foods can often be returned for a full refund, but a refund is not guaranteed in every case. Keep the package details available while confirming the instructions.
- Dispose of it as directed if return is not possible or the notice says to discard it. FDA recommends securely wrapping contaminated food before putting it in the trash. Do not donate recalled food or feed it to a pet.
- Clean areas the food may have contacted. Wash affected utensils, dishes, and food-contact surfaces with hot, soapy water, then sanitize according to agency guidance, the recall notice, and the sanitizer’s label. FoodSafety.gov gives an example of one tablespoon of unscented liquid chlorine bleach in one gallon of water; FDA’s consumer guidance also gives one tablespoon of chlorine bleach in one gallon of hot water. Follow the exact current instructions and bleach product label, and do not assume bleach is suitable for every surface.
For detailed steps, see FoodSafety.gov’s guidance on keeping food safe and the FDA’s consumer information on foodborne illness.
What should I do if I already ate recalled food?
If someone feels ill after eating the product, contact a health care provider. Do not try to diagnose the cause from the recall notice alone. FDA also provides a way to report a complaint or adverse event.

Where can I find current food recall notices?
Use the agency responsible for the food and the recalling firm’s own notice, rather than relying on an old article or a headline. FoodSafety.gov provides a centralized path to FDA and USDA recalls. FDA offers an enforcement report and recall information, along with recall subscriptions. USDA FSIS publishes notices for products it regulates. Product codes, distribution areas, and instructions can change, so check the current notice before acting.
