Food recall information: Consumer Web Site of the Week

Part of the problem with recalls is that few people hear about them. Whether we're talking about a snow globe that doubles as a firestarter or contaminated peanut products, getting the word out about potentially dangerous products has been a huge challenge.

Now, several federal agencies have combined their resources to redesign FoodSafety.gov, a one-stop shop for lots of information about recalls and alerts as well as how to handle food properly.

Check out the site to sign up for e-mail updates or RSS feeds about food recalls. You can also go to this centralized location to file complaints about potential health hazards in food, as well.
