As a shopper today, you have to deal with food issues all the time. It’s possible for companies that say they follow the best food safety practices to still make foods that are unsafe for customers.
This could be because they contain an allergen that wasn’t listed or are contaminated with germs that can make you sick. So, when a company finds out or thinks that one of its goods is unsafe, it takes it off the shelves and issues a recall to tell customers not to eat it.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the USDA both have pages on their websites where they post new recall alerts all the time.
The government-run sites are very likely to miss food safety warnings for things in your kitchen if you don’t check them every day. This is especially true if the warning doesn’t make the news.
So, to keep people up to date on what foods they should stay away from, we’ve put together a list of all the big food recalls that people in the United States should know about right now.
As new recalls are revealed throughout 2024, we will keep this story up to date, so be sure to bookmark this page and back again for the latest.
Apple Juice At A Great Price
Walmart has recalled more than 9,500 cases of its Great Value Apple Juice because it was found to have high amounts of arsenic, a chemical that can hurt people’s health. There were sales of the tainted juice in 25 states, Puerto Rico, and the DC area.
There is a recall on six-packs of eight-ounce juice boxes with the UPC 0-78742-29655-5 and a “best if used by” date of December 28, 2024. People who were affected by the recall notice didn’t get any directions, but usually people are told not to eat or drink recalled things and to throw them away.
Perdue Chicken Foods
The FSIS recalled some Perdue chicken goods on August 16 because they might have metal in them. The recall affects about 167,000 pounds of chicken goods that were sold online and in stores across the country.
There are 22-ounce packages of ButcherBox Organic Chicken Breast Nuggets, 29-ounce packages of Perdue Chicken Breast Tenders, and Simply Smart Organics Breaded Chicken Breast Nuggets that are affected.
On the package of all three items, it says “P-33944” and has the date “03/23/25” written next to it.
People who bought the recalled chicken goods were told by the FSIS to throw them away or take them back to the store where they were bought.
Cinnamon Powder Ground Up
Several types of ground cinnamon powder have been taken off the market because tests showed they might have high amounts of lead. Which is a worry because the Mayo Clinic says that both kids and adults can get kidney and nervous system damage from being exposed to higher amounts of lead.
Some of the items that have been recalled are 1.5-ounce Marcum Ground Cinnamon, 2.25-ounce Supreme Tradition Ground Cinnamon, 7-ounce Shahzada Cinnamon Powder, and both 7-ounce and 11-ounce Spice Class Ground Cinnamon.
If a customer bought any of these names, they should look at the above-linked recall notices to find out when the recalled cinnamon goods went bad and where they were sold. People who bought one of the affected things should either throw it away or take it back to the store where they bought it to get their money back.
Boar’s Head Gourmet Foods
On July 26, Boar’s Head said that they were recalling over 200,000 pounds of sandwich meats. The brand’s ready-to-eat liverwurst is being recalled because it may be contaminated with Listeria, which can make people sick.
Along with the liverwurst, eight other types of deli meat made on the same line and on the same day may have also been contaminated. These were Virginia Ham, Italian Cappy Style Ham, Extra Hot Italian Cappy Style Ham, Bologna, Beef Salami, Steakhouse Roasted Bacon, Garlic Bologna, and Beef Bologna.
People who bought any of these goods recently should look at the FSIS recall notice, which has more details about each returned deli meat, such as its weight, sell-by date, and establishment number.
People who still have the banned things should either throw them away or take them back to where they were bought.
Al Safa Chicken Products That Are Halal
A company called Al Safa US that makes kosher foods has called back more than 2,000 pounds of frozen chicken goods because they might have Listeria on them.
Al Safa Halal Charcoal Grilled Chicken Seekh Kebabs that come in 12.1-ounce cardboard boxes and have the words “NOV 30 25” and “0605404” written on them are being recalled. It also goes for 12.11-ounce cardboard boxes of Al Safa Chicken Chapli Kebabs that have the words “NOV 30 25” and “0605416” written on them.
The company number “866” is also inside the Canadian mark of inspection on these items, which were sent to stores across the country.
Even though there have been no proven reports of bad reactions to the goods, people are being told to throw them away or take them back to where they were bought.
Muffins With Chocolate Chips From Aldi Bake Shop
A lot of Aldi’s four-count Bake Shop Chocolate Chip Muffins were recalled on June 26 because they might have walnuts that weren’t listed. This could be dangerous for people with allergies or sensitivities.
The recalled muffins were sent all over the country in clear plastic box cases. The label has the UPC 4099100048278 and the lot number NF1 142Y on top of it.
So far, no sicknesses have been linked to the product, but buyers are being asked to return them to where they bought them so they can get their money back in full.
Smoked Norwegian Salmon Slices From Foppen
The Smoked Norwegian Salmon Slices from Foppen Seafood were taken off the market on June 25 because they might have Listeria on them. Kroger and Payless stores in 15 states sold the recalled fish.
These states are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.
The boxes that are being recalled are 8.1 ounces and have the UPC 8 40137 10000 2 on them. The lot number 412 is written on the front of the package as well. People who bought the product are being told to either throw it away or return it to the store where they bought it to get their money back in full.
