By 2025, we plan for 100% of our owned brands — in addition to our owned brand limited-edition and brand partnerships — to adhere to Target’s already established sustainability standards. Key enablers for overall progress toward this goal include our food safety, quality and regulatory (FSQR) teams, which oversee food and essentials. All products must meet regulatory, safety and quality standards. Our product safety and quality assurance (PSQA) team manages non-food quality and safety, with a focus on regulatory compliance and performance requirements. As a company, we are active members of the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) , the National Retail Federation (NRF) , The Toy Association and other product-specific groups for non-food products, while food compliance team members have membership of the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) , the Food Industry Association (FMI), the Consumer Brands Association (CBA) and the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP). General merchandise Target’s PSQA team helps protect our guests by requiring that our owned brand products meet mandatory safety standards, and we frequently require owned brand vendors to exceed regulatory requirements and support our responsible sourcing efforts by validating compliance to our Restricted Substances List. PSQA is also responsible for ensuring federal regulatory compliance of national brand products where Target is the importer of record. We expect our vendors of owned and national brand products to comply with our manufacturing and quality processes. Our product safety and quality program is incorporated at every stage of the product life cycle of our owned brand products. These products must pass all testing before they are approved for shipment. Food Product recalls We monitor the safety and quality of our food products through holistic food safety and quality management, from auditing vendor factories and fields to inspecting our supply chain facilities and stores. When we learn about a concern with one of our products, we investigate and, when necessary, remove it from sale. If a product is recalled, our processes require the in-store and online product to be locked and not to be sold. Multiple communication methods are in place to directly contact consumers about a recall. Read more about food, safety, quality and compliance on our website.
