How many food recalls were there in 2023?

The FDA reported 2,155 food recall enforcement actions in 2023, of which 1,224 were Class I, 748 Class II and 183 Class III. That is 30% more than the 1,652 reported in 2022.

What caused the most food recalls in 2023?

Listeria monocytogenes appears in 644 of the 2,155 recalls reported in 2023, followed by undeclared allergens with 641. A single recall can name more than one hazard, so these counts overlap.

Early access How it works

FDA food recalls reported in 2023

The FDA reported 2,155 food recall enforcement actions in 2023, 1,224 of them Class I. That is 30% more than 2022. Data last updated 2 September 2026.

Records of 29,386: 2,155
Share of all recalls: 7.3%
Class I of 2,155: 1,224
Reported between: 2023 to 2023

Who got ill

The CDC recorded 577 foodborne outbreaks in 2023, with 9,093 reported illnesses, 880 hospitalisations and 14 deaths. That is 6.4% of the 9,038 foodborne outbreaks in the dataset, and 1.5 in every thousand of those reported ill died.

The setting recorded most often was a sit-down restaurant, in 193 of the 438 where a setting was named.

Outbreaks: 577
Reported illnesses: 9,093
Hospitalised: 880
Deaths: 14

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 2023

By product, 2023 is weighted toward meat and poultry: 13.8% of the records here against 5.5% across the corpus.

Recalls in 2023 are more often the serious kind: 56.8% are Class I, where the FDA judges there is a reasonable probability of serious health consequences, against 44% of all records.

A recall in 2023 stays open a median of 256 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.

These recalls stay local: 7.2% state nationwide distribution, against 20.7% across the corpus.

What changed in 2023

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.

1 January 2023

Sesame labelling takes effect

All FDA requirements applicable to major food allergens applied to sesame from this date. Products already in interstate commerce did not have to be withdrawn or relabelled, so compliant and non-compliant packs of the same product were lawfully on shelves together during the transition.

FDA, Food Allergies

What was recalled in 2023

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 2,155.

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.

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.
