Food Recall List

Here’s the latest food recall list issued by the Food and Drug Administration.

The purpose of a recall is to inform the public and get back potentially harmful foods in order to prevent food safety problems. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA/FSIS) are the governing parties on recalls, it is conducted by the responsible food manufacturer to remove and correct a potentially harmful food.

Some reasons for a recall of a food product include:

An unlabeled ingredient that may cause an allergic reaction or misstating nutritional information.

Bacterial contamination.

Use of an unapproved chemical like pesticide.

Excessive residue amounts of sanitizer, cleaners, or solvents.

Illnesses that have been transmitted through food.

Foreign objects found in food.

Illnesses identified by state health departments or CDC.

Deliberate sabotage.

Labeling errors.

Packaging defects that may cause leakage or contamination.

Consumer complaints where evidence of injury and/or illness was found.

Participation in someone else’s recall. (Like an ingredient or equipment supplier.)

Recalls are a voluntary action. Manufacturers want to stay in business and prevent liability, so they have a Recall Team that documents why a recall is necessary. So when the FDA or FSIS “requests” a recall, food manufacturers usually comply. Because let’s face it, it is usually in their best interest to comply with a request. Complying with a government “request” prevents a more severe action.
