Recall Alerts is a notification system that sends real-time text messages about Australian food recalls directly to subscribers' mobile phones.
It helps consumers stay informed about potentially unsafe products and take immediate action to protect their health.
When a food recall is issued by Australian regulatory agencies or manufacturers, the information is verified and then sent as a concise text alert.
The system sends a text alert to all subscribers in the area affected by the food recall. The text alert includes the product name and reason for recall.
Recalls are issued by regulatory agencies including Food Standards Australia New Zealand.
In some cases food manufacturers and distributors may issue a recall directly.
Subscribers receive alerts about recalls involving food products that may pose health risks.
Reasons for recall include contamination (biotoxins, chemical, and microbial), presence of mould, foreign objects (plastic, glass, metal, and rubber), undeclared allergens, prohibited botanicals and unapproved novel ingredients.
The service is priced at $24 for a year's worth of text messages.
This works out to a cost of $2 per month.
There is no recurring charge or auto-renew. Once the service has expired, subscribers receive a message notifying them that the service is ending and inviting them to renew.
Yes. To unsubscribe, reply with the word "STOP" to any alert message. You can rejoin at any time by signing up again.
No. Subscriber information is kept private and is only used for delivering recall alerts. It will not be sold or shared with third parties.
Alerts are sent as soon as recall information is verified, within one minute of the official announcement.
An alert is sent out each time there's a recall in your area.
On average, a recall is announced every 1 or 2 weeks.
Do not eat the recalled product.
Return the product(s) to the place of purchase for a full refund.
If you have any concerns about your health, seek medical advice.
