Great Plains Food Bank closely monitors food and product recalls to help ensure the safety of the food distributed across our network. Current recall information is shared with agency partners through an email alert and posted updates in the the PARC, and partners are strongly encouraged to review this list on a weekly basis. Please note that some recalled items may not have been distributed by Great Plains Food Bank but could still reach your program through other sources.

In the event a recalled item WAS disbursed through Great Plains Food Bank (GPFB), the following actions will take place:

    • GPFB staff will contact each agency partner who has/may have received the recalled items within 24 hours of the recall notice.
    • GPFB will verbally confirm that the product was received and will advise on disposal methods

All agency partners should establish a recall procedure, including plans for notifying neighbors and disposal of product. It is the responsibility of the agency partner to notify clients/neighbors who may have received a recalled item. This can be done via social media, calls, emails, flyers at the program site, etc.
