    Food recalls, confirmed at the source

    Two multistate outbreaks are open right now. Most kitchens will hear about them late.

    Every entry here is read off the agency's own announcement — FDA enforcement pages, USDA-FSIS notices, CDC case counts — never a news summary. Lot codes, states and the last-checked date are published so a shift lead can clear a walk-in in a minute.

    Salmonella Javiana · jalapeño peppers

    Affected states, at a glance.

    Each tile is a state. Highlighted tiles appear in at least one tracked recall's distribution list; darker means more tracked actions touch that state. Click a tile to see the recalls that touch it. 51 states are named across 11 tracked actions. Distribution lists are only what the firm reported.

    Fewer recalls, vastly more food. The volume is where the risk moved.

    FSIS 2025: 42 recalls covering 71,420,721 lb, 38 of them Class I. Versus 131 recalls / 20,880,574 lb in 2017 and 31 / 1,461,019 lb in 2020. Fewer events, far more product, because one contaminated ingredient now sweeps hundreds of finished goods.

    2017
    131 recalls · 20.9M lb
    2020
    31 · 1.5M lb
    2025
    42 recalls · 71.4M lb

    FDA recalls are counted in events and units, not pounds, and are not comparable to FSIS volume.

    "52% of companies that went through a major food recall put the total financial impact above $10 million. For one in twenty, it passed $100 million."GMA/FMI recall cost study. The $10M average is direct costs only.
    Why two sources give two different recall counts.
    Enforcement events vs press announcements vs per-product rows vs fiscal years — and FSIS public health alerts are not technically recalls. Always cite the source and its date.
    Read the tag

    What each classification means for a kitchen.

    Class I

    Reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death. Stop service, segregate, do not resell or donate.

    Class II

    Remote probability of adverse health consequences. Pull the lot, verify with the supplier.

    Class III

    No adverse consequence or negligible risk, usually labeling. Still a compliance and disposal question.

    Public Health Alert

    FSIS issues one when it cannot identify or reach the recalling firm, or when an FDA-regulated ingredient contaminates FSIS-regulated product. Treat as recalled.

    How we verify

    Methodology

    1. Pull. Recall data is read automatically from the public USDA-FSIS recall listings and the FDA Recall Enterprise System (2004–present, refreshed weekly upstream).
    2. Confirm. Each record is linked directly to the agency announcement page it was pulled from. That page is the source link on every card.
    3. Watch for revisions. Agencies correct releases after the fact (FSIS revised the Bea's Best release on Aug 13, 2026 to fix the Midamar label, pieces per box and item number; much press coverage still carries the old case code), which is why every card carries a verified date.

    Limits we will not paper over

    • Absence of a match is not safety. Downstream recalls lag the ingredient recall.
    • Distribution lists are only what the firm reported ("nationwide", "further distribution possible"). The Cyclospora supplier published no customer list at all.
    • Case counts are CDC-confirmed cases. State dashboards may be higher because they include probable cases.
    • FSIS volume is pounds and FDA volume is units, so they are never added.
    • This page is awareness, not clearance.
