Which term describes a policy action that removes a defective product from the market.

• A. Organic food
• B. Botulism
• C. Product recall
• D. Nutrition

Answer: (C)

When safety concerns arise with a product, the action taken to remove it from store shelves and alert consumers is a product recall. This is a built‑in protective move by manufacturers and regulators to prevent harm, often involving notices to consumers, instructions to stop using the item, and options for refunds, replacements, or repairs. Organic food describes production standards, not an action to remove defective items. Botulism is a serious illness that can result from contaminated food, not the corrective action itself. Nutrition refers to the study of nutrients in foods, not a market withdrawal process. So the term that fits a policy action removing a defective product from the market is product recall.
