What these records are

Every record on this page was published by the FDA in the openFDA food enforcement database. 78 records cover 18 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.

62 of these records are Class I, 16 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.

• Listeria monocytogenes60
• Foreign material8
• E. coli4
• Salmonella3
• Undeclared allergens2
• Unapproved ingredients2
• Chemical contamination1

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.

Questions

How many FDA recalls has Publix Super Markets, Inc. had?

The FDA has published 78 food recall enforcement records naming Publix Super Markets, Inc. between 2012 and 2026. Those records cover 18 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.
