How many FDA recalls has Saputo Cheese USA, Inc. had?

The FDA has published 23 food recall enforcement records naming Saputo Cheese USA, Inc. between 2016 and 2026. 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.

Saputo Cheese USA, Inc. FDA recall records

The FDA has published 23 food recall enforcement records naming Saputo Cheese USA, Inc. between 2016 and 2026, covering 5 separate recall events. The firm is recorded in Wisconsin. Data last updated 2 September 2026.

Records of 29,386: 23

Class I of 23: 2
Reported between: 2016 to 2026

What these records are

Every record on this page was published by the FDA in the openFDA food enforcement database. 23 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.

2 of these records are Class I, 21 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.

All FDA food recall data

A recall is the end of an evidence trail that either existed or did not. 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.
