Product Recalls
Giant cares about your health!
A food recall is voluntary, initiated by a manufacturer or distributor to protect the public from products that may cause health problems or may be misbranded (incorrect labeling and/or packaging).
There are three types of recalls:
Class I - This is the most serious. Eating the food may cause health problems or even death.
Class II - This involves a potential health hazard where there is a remote probability of a health problem if the food is eaten.
Class III - This involves a situation where eating the product will not cause a health problem, but the product still is in violation of a Federal regulation.
While we post important information about the recall of products we carry in our stores on our website, we are including these FDA Search Tools that will allow you to view the full list of the products that have been affected.
Ground beef sold in Giant Food stores in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and the District of Columbia was NOT affected by the recent recall from Fairbanks Farms. Ground beef sold in our stores, including Nature's Promise ground beef, is not supplied by Fairbanks Farms.
Reports in the media that ground beef was recalled at Giant stores, refer to another Giant Food chain in Pennsylvania.
