California Law Will Let Officialls Name Retailers in Food Recalls

摘要

A new law in California will autho?rize health officials to name retailers that sold meat and poultry included in food recalls. The law goes into effect July 1. Store names are typically not mentioned in recalls because the business ties between food manufacturers and their retail customers have been considered confidential business information. The exception to this is when a recall involves a store brand, such as WalMart's Great Value peanut butter, which was recalled in February.
