How many FDA food recalls come from Louisiana?

58 of the 29,386 FDA food recall records published since 2012 were issued by firms located in Louisiana, which ranks it 44 among the states and territories. 25 are Class I.

Does this mean the food was sold in Louisiana?

No. The state on a recall record is the address of the recalling firm, not the distribution area. A firm in Louisiana frequently distributes nationally, and food sold in Louisiana is frequently recalled by a firm in another state. Each record carries its own distribution pattern.

What this page counts

The state on an FDA recall record is the address of the recalling firm. It is not where the product was sold: a firm in Louisiana frequently distributes nationally, and food bought in Louisiana is frequently recalled by a firm in another state. Each record below carries its own distribution pattern.

Who regulates food in Louisiana

State agency: Louisiana Department of Health Retail Food Program
State food code: Sanitary Code, Part XXIII, Retail Food Establishments

This agency regulates retail and food-service establishments in the state. Most of the firms below are manufacturers, whose recalls are federal actions under FDA jurisdiction, so the agency named here did not issue them. FDA, retail and food service codes by state, read 2026-09-15.

Who got ill

The CDC recorded 43 foodborne outbreaks in Louisiana between 2012 and 2023, with 951 reported illnesses, 120 hospitalisations and 3 deaths. That is 0.5% of the 9,038 foodborne outbreaks in the dataset, and 3.2 in every thousand of those reported ill died.

Outbreaks: 43
Reported illnesses: 951
Hospitalised: 120
Deaths: 3

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 Louisiana

The hazard that separates Louisiana from the national picture is undeclared allergens: 41.4% of these records name it, against 26.5% of all FDA food recalls.

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

A recall in Louisiana stays open a median of 140 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 travel further than most: 32.8% state nationwide distribution, against 20.7% of all records.

What Louisiana firms recalled for

A single recall can name more than one hazard, so these counts overlap and do not sum to 58.

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.

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.

Questions

How many FDA food recalls come from Louisiana?: 58 of the 29,386 FDA food recall records published since 2012 were issued by firms located in Louisiana, which ranks it 44 among the states and territories. 25 are Class I.
Does this mean the food was sold in Louisiana?: No. The state on a recall record is the address of the recalling firm, not the distribution area. A firm in Louisiana frequently distributes nationally, and food sold in Louisiana is frequently recalled by a firm in another state. Each record carries its own distribution pattern.

All FDA food recall data

Location says where a recall was issued, not where the evidence for it lives. 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.
