How many FDA food recalls come from Maryland?

792 of the 29,386 FDA food recall records published since 2012 were issued by firms located in Maryland, which ranks it 15 among the states and territories. 561 are Class I.

Does this mean the food was sold in Maryland?

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

Who regulates food in Maryland

State agency: Maryland Food Service Facilities
State food code: Food Service Facilities

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 208 foodborne outbreaks in Maryland between 2012 and 2023, with 2,717 reported illnesses, 106 hospitalisations and 1 deaths. That is 2.3% of the 9,038 foodborne outbreaks in the dataset, and 0.4 in every thousand of those reported ill died.

The setting recorded most often was a sit-down restaurant, in 99 of the 189 where a setting was named.

Outbreaks: 208
Reported illnesses: 2,717
Hospitalised: 106
Deaths: 1

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 Maryland

The hazard that separates Maryland from the national picture is listeria monocytogenes: 68.4% of these records name it, against 25.5% of all FDA food recalls.

By product, Maryland is weighted toward meat and poultry: 27.4% of the records here against 5.5% across the corpus.

Recalls in Maryland are more often the serious kind: 70.8% are Class I, where the FDA judges there is a reasonable probability of serious health consequences, against 44% of all records.

A recall in Maryland stays open a median of 256 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 stay local: 10% state nationwide distribution, against 20.7% across the corpus.

A single recall here covers far more records than usual: 8.3 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.

The volume is rising: 555 records in the three years to 2025, against 33 in the four before them. A rise in records is not the same as a rise in hazards.

What Maryland firms recalled for

A single recall can name more than one hazard, so these counts overlap and do not sum to 792.

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 Maryland?: 792 of the 29,386 FDA food recall records published since 2012 were issued by firms located in Maryland, which ranks it 15 among the states and territories. 561 are Class I.
Does this mean the food was sold in Maryland?: No. The state on a recall record is the address of the recalling firm, not the distribution area. A firm in Maryland frequently distributes nationally, and food sold in Maryland 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.
