If a food item distributed by Tarrant Area Food Bank is recalled by the manufacturer, what does the Food Bank do?
Tarrant Area Food Bank follows the directions of the national organization to which it belongs, Feeding America (formerly America’s Second Harvest—The Nation’s Food Bank Network). Feeding America alerts all its member food banks and provides all the information Tarrant Area Food Bank needs to track down any of the recalled items that may be in its warehouse. If the Food Bank has distributed any of a recalled food to its Partner Agencies, the Food Bank will know it from its inventory tracking system. If Tarrant Area Food Bank has distributed the recalled item, staff immediately alert Partner Agencies so they can search their stores of food for it. If a Partner Agency has already distributed any of the recalled item, the agency can notify its clients.
