A food incident is where there are concerns about actual or suspected threats to the safety of food or feed that could require intervention to protect consumers' interests.
Businesses are legally required to inform their local authority/port health authority and the Food Standards Agency if there is reason to believe that food or feed is not compliant with the safety requirements and should be immediately withdrawn or recalled from sale.
