271Foreign objects in the food

Foreign objects means metal, plastic, glass, wood or rubber. In the food. On purpose is not the accusation. Present is.

Where this comes from

Every row is a real enforcement report from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, pulled from the openFDA food enforcement database on September 28, 2026. The window is January 20, 2025 to September 28, 2026. Nothing here is our summary, our spin, or our guess. The wording in the reason column is the FDA's.

One thing we will not do is lie to you about the trend. Recalls are up from the year before and down from 2023. The number that matters is not the direction, it is that two and a half thousand foods had to be pulled off shelves in twenty months, and a thousand of those could have killed somebody.

Meat, poultry and egg products are regulated by USDA FSIS, not the FDA, so their recalls are not in this list. Add them and the number goes up.
