In Germany, supermarkets typically post product recalls right on the doors or over the shelves of the section that has the affected products. I guess if you bought something you might be less likely to go down that aisle again next time and come across the sign, but (barring a big empty space at the entrance) I think that's the most reasonable place for them to be
Same in Belgium and the Netherlands. On the stores website too.
Do you ever find there are a lot of these signs at any given time? Having them in a designated area by the entryway then maybe again by the shelf where they stock it seems like a good combination.
In my head I worry it might become overwhelming to the point no one reads them anymore. Though I suppose that could be mitigated with a large image of the recalled product, to make it easier to check at a glance without having to stop and read for a minute. I can't remember ever seeing signage at the shops near me. I wish we had that.
Maybe I'm overthinking it and it's a rarity to ever have more than a couple products be recalled at a single time. Can't say I've put much thought into any of this before.
in my experience, it is rare to see two recalls at the same time in the same store. and yes, there usually is a rather large picture of the product. standard size paper (din a4) where the top half is a picture and the bottom half a description of the recall with info as to why and which batch numbers are affected.
Ah okay, I like that implementation. Good to have it be eye-catching and not just a bunch of text. Thanks for letting me know.
They're not super common. I don't see one every single time I go grocery shopping, though I would say typically there are maybe one or two recalls posted somewhere in the store at a time. Most I've seen at once is four, maybe a year or so ago, but they also keep the signs up for a few weeks so they didn't happen all at once.
They do always have either a picture of the product or at least the name prominently placed, so you can glance at it to see whether it's about something you might have bought.
