How many food recalls were there in 2017?

The FDA reported 3,203 food recall enforcement actions in 2017, of which 1,151 were Class I, 1,846 Class II and 206 Class III. That is 6% more than the 3,011 reported in 2016.

What caused the most food recalls in 2017?

Undeclared allergens appears in 1,276 of the 3,203 recalls reported in 2017, followed by listeria monocytogenes with 660. A single recall can name more than one hazard, so these counts overlap.

Early access How it works

FDA food recalls reported in 2017

The FDA reported 3,203 food recall enforcement actions in 2017, 1,151 of them Class I. That is 6% more than 2016. Data last updated 2 September 2026.

Records of 29,386: 3,203
Share of all recalls: 10.9%
Class I of 3,203: 1,151
Reported between: 2017 to 2017

Who got ill

The CDC recorded 864 foodborne outbreaks in 2017, with 15,079 reported illnesses, 1,010 hospitalisations and 29 deaths. That is 9.6% of the 9,038 foodborne outbreaks in the dataset, and 1.9 in every thousand of those reported ill died.

The setting recorded most often was a sit-down restaurant, in 370 of the 807 where a setting was named.

Outbreaks: 864
Reported illnesses: 15,079
Hospitalised: 1,010
Deaths: 29

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 2017

The hazard that separates 2017 from the national picture is undeclared allergens: 39.8% of these records name it, against 26.5% of all FDA food recalls.

Recalls in 2017 skew less severe than the corpus: 35.9% are Class I against 44% nationally.

What changed in 2017

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.

18 September 2017

Preventive controls apply to small businesses

Businesses with fewer than 500 full-time equivalent employees came under 21 CFR 117 from this date. The Foreign Supplier Verification Programme rule also began to bite in 2017, putting the same evidential burden on importers: an importer became responsible for verifying that a foreign supplier controls the hazards, and for holding the records that prove it.

FDA, FSMA Final Rule on Foreign Supplier Verification Programs

What was recalled in 2017

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 3,203.

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 2017?: The FDA reported 3,203 food recall enforcement actions in 2017, of which 1,151 were Class I, 1,846 Class II and 206 Class III. That is 6% more than the 3,011 reported in 2016.
What caused the most food recalls in 2017?: Undeclared allergens appears in 1,276 of the 3,203 recalls reported in 2017, followed by listeria monocytogenes with 660. 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.
