Get one UK Food Standards Agency food alert by its number (such as FSA-AA-53-2026 for an allergy alert or FSA-PRIN-01-2018 for a product recall): the description, the problem and risk statement, every product with pack size and batch codes and use-by or best-before dates, the action the business has taken, the advice to consumers, other businesses involved and the notice and attachment links. An unknown number returns found:false. Example: alert_number=“FSA-AA-53-2026”.
