Food Safety Investigation

Food Safety Investigation

Food Safety Investigation is a series of activities we do to protect our customer safety. Food safety issues may include but are not limited to food poisoning, allergies, contamination, or discovery of foreign objects. In order to prevent or minimize the spread of safety risks, we may temporarily suspend your listing from our store during the Food Safety Investigation.

When your listing is suppressed due to a Food Safety Investigation

We will send you an email notification with a description of the issue and the reason why your listing has been suppressed. We also provide information in the notification for listing reinstatement, what documents should be submitted, and next steps to take.

Your responsibilities as our Selling Partner during the Food Safety Investigation
