When a food recall is announced, most shoppers know to check their pantries and refrigerators for the specific product. However, the danger doesn’t always end there. Shopping for groceries during an active recall requires extra vigilance, as the risk of cross-contamination can affect areas of the store you might not expect. Even after a store removes a recalled product from its shelves, harmful bacteria like E. coli or Listeria can linger. To shop safely, you should be especially cautious in these ten grocery store sections during a recall.
