Food Product Recall – Do you ignore food recalls?

Rutgers University surveyed over 1,000 individuals and 60% reported searching their homes for potentially contaminated food products when they learn about a food product recall. Survey results show that 40% believe “It’s can’t happen to me” and do not take precautions.

Here are some of the interesting survey statistics:

64% pay attention to food-safety news
81% spread the word about food product recall/problems
25% throw out possibly contaminated food
12% eat food the think may be recalled

Where do you fall?
