Questions

Straight answers, from the same database as the cards above.

What food is recalled right now?

As of Sep 2, 2026, 28 active notices say do not eat and 21 advisories say caution.

How many are a serious health risk?

As of Sep 2, 2026, 19 of the 28 active recall and outbreak notices are marked a serious health risk. The class comes from the source agency (FDA Class I or the USDA equivalent) when it gives one, and is marked as our read of the hazard when it does not.

How long does the FDA take to announce a recall?

A median of 34 days between the day a company started pulling product and the day the FDA's enforcement report listed it, and 88 days at worst, across the 18 notices that carry both dates, as of Sep 2, 2026. The FDA publishes once a week, so up to seven days of any gap is the calendar. USDA FSIS notices state no start date and are not measured.
