Who got ill

The CDC recorded 875 foodborne outbreaks in 2014, with 13,442 reported illnesses, 802 hospitalisations and 37 deaths. That is 9.7% of the 9,038 foodborne outbreaks in the dataset, and 2.8 in every thousand of those reported ill died.

The setting recorded most often was a sit-down restaurant, in 391 of the 770 where a setting was named.

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 2014

By product, 2014 is weighted toward fresh produce: 34.8% of the records here against 23.5% across the corpus.

Recalls in 2014 skew less severe than the corpus: 32.7% are Class I against 44% nationally.

A recall in 2014 stays open a median of 448 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 was recalled in 2014

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 2,259.

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 2014?
The FDA reported 2,259 food recall enforcement actions in 2014, of which 738 were Class I, 1,431 Class II and 90 Class III. That is 7% more than the 2,111 reported in 2013.
What caused the most food recalls in 2014?
Undeclared allergens appears in 613 of the 2,259 recalls reported in 2014, followed by listeria monocytogenes with 550. 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.
