How many food recalls were there in 2013?

The FDA reported 2,111 food recall enforcement actions in 2013, of which 1,029 were Class I, 959 Class II and 123 Class III. That is 10% more than the 1,917 reported in 2012.

What caused the most food recalls in 2013?

Listeria monocytogenes appears in 760 of the 2,111 recalls reported in 2013, followed by undeclared allergens with 362. A single recall can name more than one hazard, so these counts overlap.

Early access How it works

FDA food recalls reported in 2013

The FDA reported 2,111 food recall enforcement actions in 2013, 1,029 of them Class I. That is 10% more than 2012. Data last updated 2 September 2026.

Records of 29,386: 2,111
Share of all recalls: 7.2%
Class I of 2,111: 1,029
Reported between: 2013 to 2013

Who got ill

The CDC recorded 833 foodborne outbreaks in 2013, with 13,569 reported illnesses, 1,140 hospitalisations and 28 deaths. That is 9.2% of the 9,038 foodborne outbreaks in the dataset, and 2.1 in every thousand of those reported ill died.

The setting recorded most often was a sit-down restaurant, in 355 of the 742 where a setting was named.

Outbreaks: 833
Reported illnesses: 13,569
Hospitalised: 1,140
Deaths: 28

Foodborne outbreaks reported to CDC, National Outbreak Reporting System (NORS) for 2012 to 2023, read 2026-09-15. An outbreak is two or more illnesses traced to a common food, so this counts people rather than product, and it does not cover the recall years after 2023.

What is different about 2013

The hazard that separates 2013 from the national picture is listeria monocytogenes: 36% of these records name it, against 25.5% of all FDA food recalls.

By product, 2013 is weighted toward grains, flour and pasta: 11.5% of the records here against 6.7% across the corpus.

A recall in 2013 stays open a median of 314 days between the report and termination, against 215 days for the corpus as a whole. Termination follows the firm accounting for every unit of the affected lot.

What changed in 2013

A rule changes what a firm has to hold, not what its hazards are, so nothing below explains the counts on this page. It is the regime the records were written under.

The gluten-free labelling rule is published

The FDA defined "gluten-free" for food labelling in a final rule, making it a voluntary claim a manufacturer may use only on meeting the regulation. The distinction matters to the records on this site: gluten is not one of the nine major food allergens and carries no mandatory declaration, so a gluten recall is almost always a claim the label made and the product did not meet, rather than an ingredient that went undeclared. The FDA puts the population it protects at an estimated 3 million people in the United States with celiac disease.

FDA, Gluten-Free Labeling of Foods

What was recalled in 2013

Counts are by the date the FDA reported the enforcement action, which is the field openFDA publishes as report_date rather than the date the firm started the recall. A single recall can name more than one hazard, so these counts overlap and do not sum to 2,111.

Firms with the most records

A firm appears here because it reported recalls, which is what a working recall procedure produces. A high count frequently reflects a single event split across many product codes rather than many separate failures.

Where the recalling firms are

The state is the location of the recalling firm, not where the product was sold. Distribution is recorded separately on each record.

Questions

How many food recalls were there in 2013?: The FDA reported 2,111 food recall enforcement actions in 2013, of which 1,029 were Class I, 959 Class II and 123 Class III. That is 10% more than the 1,917 reported in 2012.
What caused the most food recalls in 2013?: Listeria monocytogenes appears in 760 of the 2,111 recalls reported in 2013, followed by undeclared allergens with 362. A single recall can name more than one hazard, so these counts overlap.

All FDA food recall data

Every hazard in this year is a clause somebody had to evidence at an audit. Krolda maps supplier documents to the clause they satisfy in FSSC 22000, IFS Food and 21 CFR 117, and routes the corrective action when the evidence is missing.

Early access

Recall records come from the openFDA food enforcement API, published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the public domain. Krolda adds the hazard classification and the clause mapping; neither is an FDA determination. Always check the FDA notice before acting on a recall.
