About Food recalls
Food recalls in the United States are issued by the FDA (processed foods, seafood, produce) and the USDA FSIS (meat, poultry, and egg products). Most are classified as Class I — the highest severity level — meaning the agency has determined a reasonable probability that eating the product will cause serious harm or death. Common triggers include bacterial contamination (Listeria, Salmonella, E. coli), undeclared allergens that can cause anaphylaxis in sensitive individuals, and foreign material contamination. Check the lot number, best-by date, and UPC code on your product against the official recall notice before discarding — not every unit of a brand is always included.
What to do if you're affected
- →Stop consuming the product immediately.
- →Check your pantry, fridge, or freezer for the recalled item.
- →Do not donate the product — dispose of it or return to the store.
- →Contact the manufacturer or retailer for a refund.
About foreign material contamination
Foreign material contamination occurs when physical objects — such as metal fragments, glass shards, plastic pieces, bone chips, or other materials — are inadvertently introduced into a product during manufacturing or packaging. Ingesting foreign objects can cause cuts to the mouth, throat, or digestive tract; dental damage; choking; or internal injury. These recalls are typically issued after consumer complaints or internal quality checks identify the problem.
⚠ Inspect any remaining units of the product for visible foreign material before disposal, and report any injuries to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
