Food Warnings
The Trading Standards Service receives Food Alerts from the Food Standards Agency. Dependant on the type of alert the Service will carry out inspections or issue information to trade on the specific alert.

Allergy Alerts
Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.
In such situations the Food Standards Agency will issue an Allergy Alert. It is possible to subscribe to an email alert system to receive automatic messages whenever such Allergy Alerts are issued. For more information visit the Food Standards Agency website.
Text Alerts
You can also get details of all the latest allergy alerts as soon as they're issued by getting the details sent as a SMS text message direct to your mobile phone.
To sign up to this free service, simply send the text message 'START ALLERGY' to the number 62372. To unsubscribe, just text 'STOP ALLERGY' to the same number.
