In the event of product recall, how should items be marked?

Marking items with "Do not sell" during a product recall is crucial to ensuring consumer safety and maintaining compliance with food safety regulations. This designation effectively communicates to staff that the recalled items should not be sold to customers under any circumstances. It prevents the risk of inadvertently selling potentially harmful products that may pose a health risk to consumers, thereby protecting the store and its customers.

The practice of marking items in this manner is part of a broader food safety protocol, which includes swift action to isolate the affected products and prevent them from circulating in the market. By clearly indicating that these items cannot be sold, the store helps to ensure that proper actions, such as returning them to the supplier or discarding them, can take place in an orderly manner. Such precautions are essential for maintaining the integrity of food safety standards and demonstrating responsibility to consumers and regulatory bodies alike.
