In order to satisfy the food safety law that President Obama signed in January, the FDA launched its newly renovated website devoted to archiving the history of food recalls. The home page sites all recalls for food, drugs, animal health, biologics, and medical devices within the last 60 days, all recalls prior to that, going as far back as 2004, are searchable in the Recall and Safety Alerts Archive section of the website.
This is a valuable resource that will certainly prove useful for a variety of reasons.
