How many FDA recalls has Ardent Mills, LLC had?

The FDA has published 10 food recall enforcement records naming Ardent Mills, LLC between 2017 and 2022. Those records cover 7 separate recall events: the agency opens one record per product code, so one recall of a product line appears as many records.

Does a high recall count mean a firm is unsafe?

Not on its own. Most FDA food recalls are initiated voluntarily by the firm, and a recall is the firm removing product from the market, which is what a working food safety plan is supposed to produce. Record counts also scale with the number of product codes a firm carries rather than with the number of things that went wrong.

1 of these records are Class I, 9 Class II and 0 Class III. A recall count is not a safety score. Most FDA food recalls are initiated by the firm itself, and a recall is the firm removing product from the market, which is what a food safety plan is built to produce.

What was recalled for

A single record can name more than one hazard, so these counts overlap.

By year

Counts are by the date the FDA reported the enforcement action. That date runs behind the date a firm started a recall, so the most recent year is always partial.
