The hazard that separates High Liner Foods Inc. from the national picture is undeclared allergens: 98.4% of these records name it, against 26.5% of all FDA food recalls.

By product, High Liner Foods Inc. is weighted toward fish and seafood: 56% of the records here against 8.2% across the corpus.

A single recall here covers far more records than usual: 38.2 enforcement records per FDA event, against 3.7 across the corpus. The agency opens one record per product code, so this is a sign of broad product lines rather than of repeated failures.

What these records are

Every record on this page was published by the FDA in the openFDA food enforcement database. 191 records cover 5 recall events, because the agency opens one record per product code: a single recall of a product line with many codes appears here many times.

1 of these records are Class I, 190 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.

• Undeclared allergens188
• Listeria monocytogenes2
• Unapproved ingredients1

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.

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.

• New Hampshire190

Questions

How many FDA recalls has High Liner Foods Inc. had?

The FDA has published 191 food recall enforcement records naming High Liner Foods Inc. between 2012 and 2020. Those records cover 5 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.
