(2) notify all relevant persons to cease distribution of the food;
(3) recall the food; and
(4) provide notice to consumers and public health officials. Authorizes the Secretary to control and possess the food and to order the person to immediately cease distribution of the food if the person refuses or does not adequately carry out such actions.
