Frequently Asked Questions

When a food safety issue is identified, through FDA inspections, lab testing, consumer complaints, or manufacturer quality checks, the responsible company issues a recall to remove the affected products from the market. The FDA publishes an enforcement report detailing the product, the reason for the recall, and how far the product was distributed. Retailers pull the product from shelves, and consumers are advised to return it for a refund or dispose of it safely.

The leading causes include bacterial contamination (Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli), undeclared allergens (milk, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish), foreign material contamination (metal, glass, plastic), and labeling errors. Undeclared allergens consistently account for the largest share of food recalls because even trace amounts can cause severe reactions in sensitive individuals.
